Ahead of the club's midweek home match against FC Cincinnati on Wednesday evening, Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin provided an update on the injury status of the squad.
Kai Wagner
"With Kai maybe it's an instance where we against Miami he felt good at halftime and he had a protocol in place where we'd check in at halftime and see if he could make the turn and play the second half having missed some time and the dialogue between me and him was that his body felt good. In the 60th minute we got the thumbs up and that he felt strong. He wanted to gut it out and play the full 90 but he started to have some tightness so we took him out. The recovery the next two days was fine and then he just had a sort of a tightness when we started back up training that didn't feel right so we didn't want to force it with Toronto. He got some treatment and will be fully available for tomorrow evening's game which is a real positive."
Ray Gaddis
"Ray won't make tomorrow, he's coming along strong and I had a good talk with him yesterday. I can't stress how important he is to our team and again I think the good performance against Toronto was done without our two starting outside backs. He's doing everything to get back as quickly as possible and doing all the little things that a good leader does to help in the locker room."
Warren Creavalle
"Warren Creavalle will be back and available and will help us off the bench. It's too soon for him to start a match right now."
