Add Derrick Jones to the list of Philadelphia Union players who will be away on international duty and unavailable for this weekend’s game against Columbus Crew SC.
Jones has been called into the United States U23 team for a pair of friendlies in Spain against Egpyt (March 22) and the Netherlands (March 24), the team announced on Tuesday.
Auston Trusty was not on the call-up list, which is more likely an indication of the Union’s thinning numbers and need for him to stay home and play this weekend than a lack of desire on new head coach Jason Kreis to call him into the squad.
