The phrase, “He’s getting there,” has become a staple under head coach Gregg Berhalter. Sometimes it means a player will be ready for the weekend, while other times it could be weeks until said player is ready to play.
In the case of Kekuta Manneh, it’s been the latter.
“He’s getting there,” Berhalter said of Manneh on Tuesday. “The work that he’s been putting in has been tremendous and we want to get him involved.”
Manneh was acquired by Columbus Crew SC at the end of March, but the winger is yet to see the field for the Black & Gold going on a month now.
