With two ‘keepers in protocol and another injured, Whitecaps run into crisis in goal

May 20, 2022 | 2:55 PM

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps are struggling to find someone fit to tend goal for their Major League Soccer match on Sunday at Charlotte FC.

The Whitecaps announced Friday that goalkeepers Isaac Boehmer and Cody Cropper, as well as midfielder Pedro Vite, have been placed in the league’s health and safety protocols and will not be available to play. 

With regular starter Thomas Hasal out with a fractured middle finger, that leaves no one left to take over goaltending duties.

“We are currently exploring all our options at the ‘keeper position for Sunday’s game,” Axel Schuster, the Whitecaps’ chief executive officer and sporting director, said on the club’s Twitter feed.

Vancouver (3-6-2) enters the match against Charlotte (4-7-1) in last place in the Western Conference standings with 11 points.
