In the midst of a heavy week, with Columbus Crew SC playing three matches over eight days, head coach Gregg Berhalter has an important decision to make — who will replace Pedro Santos?
The Portuguese winger was shown a red card last Saturday against the Seattle Sounders and will be suspended for this Wednesday’s matchup with the Philadelphia Union at MAPFRE Stadium. Santos has not been impressive so far in 2018, but his playing style is unique within the Black & Gold’s roster and that creates an additional challenge when replacing him.
