Gustavo Bou is “probably a week away” from returning to the field for the New England Revolution, according to head coach Bruce Arena.
Bou has been sidelined with a leg injury since the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals against Pumas on Mar. 16. The Argentine striker returned to practice last week but isn’t expected to play against the Columbus Crew this weekend.
When asked if Bou will be available on Saturday, Arena said, “Not likely. Probably a week away.”
Bou’s absence has required others to step up, including 19-year-old Damien “Tico” Rivera.
