Ahead of the 2020 Major League Soccer season kicking off for Philadelphia Union in the Lone Star State, Head Coach Jim Curtin spoke on the status of a few players.
Kai Wagner
“We know the Kai was an incredible left back last year for us and the likelihood is we’ll be without him maybe for not just this game but maybe beyond. The good news is that we know it’s healing and for awhile there was a bit of a mystery in terms of exactly what the issue was but that’s been cleared up and we do know from the most recent images that it’s healing but its safe to say he’s not going to participate this weekend and LAFC will be a reach but we hope to have him when start at Subaru Park.”
Andrew Wooten
“Wooten is still out with the quad and it will be close for Dallas. It’s not a step back and he still felt it even in the [preseason] game so we were a little precautious and he had an injection early in the week and we’ll see how he responds to that in terms of being available for 15-20 minutes against Dallas is still to be determined.”
