The man(20-year old)that silenced TQL Stadium a few months ago is prepping for his third MLS season. Were Mitja IleniΔβs playoff heroics enough to take homegrown talent Trayvon Grayβs spot in the starting 11 though?
More below:

Up next in our @newyorkcityfc.com Player Previews: Mitja IleniΔ
The 20-year-old finished last season's campaign starting at right-back over Tayvon Gray. Will he get the nod again under Pascal Jansen?
Finally, some good news for Gotham this offseason: Midge Purce will be back after signing an extension through 2025:
