For Minnesota United, its current 17-day break between games could not have come at a better time. The Loons are working to get a number of players back into form ahead of their meeting with D.C. United on September 12 — as well as for the pivotal stretch run of the season — and believe this break is just what they need to do so.
The time off will benefit players like forwards Abu Danladi, Angelo Rodriguez and Darwin Quintero, midfielder Fernando Bob, defender Eric Miller and others who are either working their way back into game shape, still acclimating to the team or overcoming recent injuries.
