Luke Boden's Presence Provides Relief for Orlando City vs. Philadelphia Following Brek Shea Suspension

Orlando City has gotten off to a good start in 2016, sitting atop the Eastern Conference table through four games after winning its last two matches. The unfortunate thing, however, is the mounting list of absences the club will have to deal with, as striker Cyle Larin joined Antonio Nocerino on the injured hamstring list on Sunday, while Tommy Redding also went off hurt and Brek Shea has now been suspended for Friday's clash with Philadelphia thanks to a retroactive red card.

While it remains to be seen how Orlando City will deal without its primary goal-scorer up top, there's no question about how the Lions will cope with the one-game suspension dealt to Shea -- Luke Boden will step in at left back, and he will likely play well.
