On Saturday, the Union play their first game in three weeks, and their first home game in a month. They'll do so without Sergio Santos and four players on the USMNT U-20s. But it's a sacrifice the Union are willing to make, writes thegoalkeeper.
But not everything will be ideal for the home team. Santos is out because he had to go to Chile to get his green card paperwork finished, and isn’t back in town yet.
The Union get it, having long understood the value of their players competing for national teams. So they made the sacrifice.The dream has come true for Brenden Aaronson, with Leeds United and the U.S. men’s soccer team “It’s a risk we’re willing to take,” Curtin said. “We have had dialogue and open conversations, and healthy conversations, that in the event of an emergency — if we lost a starter or two, maybe a guy or two could be called back. ... We’ll play it week by week, but as of right now, we were able to support the national team, and with the players that are here, we’re fully confident that we can get results through these next few games.
“Chris has truly capitalized on an opportunity at this club and has made incredible strides since arriving in Philadelphia,” Union sporting director Ernst Tanner said in a statement. “His mentality and dedication to his development is a perfect example of what can be achieved in our system and what the Philadelphia Union stands for. We brought in a solid MLS Next Pro player, and we now believe Chris can immediately contribute to our first team.
