After a very long 10 months, the Columbus Crew will usher in the 2022 Major League Soccer season with a welcomed return to the pitch on Saturday when the Vancouver Whitecaps come to Lower.com Field. The team will not be the only one who fans are happy to see back, as midfielder Artur returns from an injury that cost him nearly all of the 2021 season.
Artur has suffered ongoing issues involving a hernia, which limited him to just six games for the Black & Gold last year, after playing at least 22 in his first four seasons in Columbus, with concerns about his ability to come back right away in 2022.
