Orlando City SC is gearing up for the postseason, but they are missing a crucial piece of their defense in Dagur Dan Thorhallsson. Sidelined with a left lower leg injury since September 25, the Icelandic defender has missed three matches, including the club’s recent dominant 3-1 victory over FC Cincinnati. As the playoffs approach, Thorhallsson’s return will be vital to Orlando City’s success.

Thorhallsson has excelled in a unique hybrid role, seamlessly transitioning between midfield and defense, which has made him indispensable to Head Coach Oscar Pareja’s system. His ability to anchor various formations, especially when Orlando switches to a back-three setup, has been a tactical asset. Initially, MLS opponents found success against Orlando’s back-three formation, prompting a shift in strategy. Pareja, however, leaned into the formation, empowering Thorhallsson to take charge, and the Icelandic defender flourished in the role.

Thorhallsson’s adaptability was critical during a stretch when several Orlando players were on international duty, allowing him to shine in the back-three. His versatility allowed him to cover ground as a midfielder and drop back as a defender, providing stability and stamina on the pitch. This flexibility will be a significant asset for Orlando during the playoffs, where defensive solidity is paramount.

Even with a full-strength squad, Thorhallsson’s ability to shift between roles will be key in formations like 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, allowing the team to adapt to different match situations. His return will allow Orlando City to defend more effectively, giving them the balance and focus they need to go deep into the postseason.

Thorhallsson’s recovery will be crucial, and as Orlando City prepares for the postseason, his hybrid defending skills could be the difference in making a deep playoff run.
