Sporting KC midfielder Jorge Claros suspended three games for “inappropriate language”

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Jorge Claros was issued a three-game suspension for “inappropriate language,” according to a Major League Soccer disciplinary summary posted Friday.

An hour later, though, Claros’ suspension had been removed from the online summary.

A league spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

Sporting KC coach Peter Vermes said after the club’s 0-0 draw Friday against D.C. United that he was still in the process of gathering information on the potential suspension — and the “inappropriate language” that led to it.

“I’m not privy to everything because the league dealt with it,” Vermes said. “It was a situation where allegedly there were some inappropriate comments. I can’t tell you what they were because, like I said, I’m not privy to that. I’m not going to make a statement about something I don’t know.”

Vermes said he didn’t know when the alleged comments were made either.

Claros was not in Sporting KC’s lineup on Friday, which was listed online as the first game of a three-game ban.

Claros signed with Sporting KC in July. He has appeared in seven league matches, including four starts.
