Per Julian Cardillo of ProSoccerUSA.com, Gershon Koffie may not be returning to MLS after all. Neither the Revs nor any other club claimed the Hammarby midfielder during the March 16 league-wide availability period. The Swedish squad indicated a few weeks ago that the former Rev was not in their future plans, which prompted the rumor mill to start spinning. Since New England owned his MLS rights, most assumed the fan favorite would be returning to Foxborough. The Ghanaian could still be picked up by an MLS club before the May 1 primary transfer deadline.
The departures of Koffie and Xavier Kouassi after last season left Scott Caldwell as the only pure defensive (holding) midfielder on the roster.
