Andre Blake has fracture in hand, ruled out for Columbus Crew game

The bad news is Andre Blake has a fracture in his hand. The good news is there’s still a possibility that the Philadelphia Union goalkeeper will be back for the postseason.

“With Andre, unfortunately, there was a fracture in the hand that will rule him out certainly for this match,” head coach Jim Curtin said in a press conference Friday. “The hope is, if things go well, there is a possibility that it is not a season-ending injury.”

With Blake out Joe Bendik will likely be the one starting against his former team on Sunday in Columbus.
