While the entirety of the Columbus Crew community celebrates the signing of forward Cucho Hernández this week, there was soccer played on the field recently. In the Black & Gold’s 1-1 draw with Charlotte FC over the weekend, midfielder Aidan Morris stepped back into a starting role and played a dominant game from box to box. On Tuesday, Major League Soccer rewarded Morris with a spot on the MLS Team of the Week bench.
Morris earns his first MLS Team of the Week award since debuting in the league on July 11, 2020. On Saturday, Morris joined a midfield missing injured playmakers Lucas Zelarayán, Artur and Yaw Yeboah and stepped into a defensive starting midfield position.
