Columbus Crew SC will be a man down later this month after it was announced Wednesday that left back Jukka Raitala is among the group called up by the Finland national team for a pair of games later this month.
Finland is set to travel to Turkey for a World Cup qualifying match on March 24 before hosting Austria in a friendly on March 28.
The Finnish team currently sits fifth out of six teams in Group I, with just one point on four games.
Raitala has started both of the Black & Gold’s first two games of the season.
