Ghanaian forward Latif Atta Blessing could miss Los Angeles FC Sunday's Major League Soccer clash with Orlando City due to injury.

The in-form diminutive hitman picked an injury in Los Angeles' 2-2 draw at Houston Dynamo on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old grabbed a goal in the 5th minute of the match but was replaced by Joao Moutinho on the 65th-minute mark after suffering an injury.

Blessing's absence will be a blow to Bob Bradley's outfit after netting three impressive goals in his last five games.

He has scored four goals in 17 appearances to help the Los Angeles-based side to 3rd place in the Western Conference of the MLS.
