New York City FC will limp into Saturday night’s home match against FC Cincinnati without two of its most influential players.

All-star midfielder Maxi Moralez and striker Heber have knee injuries that will keep them out of the 7 p.m. encounter at Red Bull Arena.

Moralez is sidelined for about a month with a knee injury.

Heber will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL suffered in the home loss to Toronto FC.

Gedion Zelalem and Tayvon Gray are also out with injuries.
