Records seven clearances in win
Che registered two tackles (two won), seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.
Analysis: Che was one of the standout performers at the back for NYRB, and his seven clearances were his best output in that category since he made eight clearances in the season opener versus Orlando on Feb. 22. Che is averaging 4.7 clearances per game in his six starts this season.
Fit again
Che (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Chicago.
Analysis: Che is finally back in the team sheet after weeks of coming close following a hamstring injury, and has been given a spot on the bench. He was an option for the first three games of the season and started in all three, so he will be eying a return to the starting XI after a few minutes to test his fitness.
