Syracuse head coach John Desko said that redshirt junior attack/midfielder Nicky Galasso’s upper-body injury will keep him sidelined for a few weeks after the Orange’s two scrimmage wins over Hofstra and Le Moyne on Saturday afternoon.

“Galasso will be out here before too long,” Desko said. “He has an injury but it’s healing and we think it will be just a few weeks.”

After transferring from North Carolina following his sophomore year, Galasso received a medical redshirt last year for a foot injury suffered in the preseason. The junior now has two years of eligibility remaining and is expected to see time at attack and midfield for the Orange this season.

Desko was announced Wednesday that Galasso would miss time with the upper-body injury.
