The Philadelphia Union are coming off a difficult road loss after again going down to 10 men this past weekend against Seattle. But with all of the injuries and suspensions in the midfield, Vincent Nogueira has stood out with exceptional play.
Nogueira was forced to miss three games after the season opener against FC Dallas because of an ankle injury that he picked up during training. But seemingly back to full health, he’s returned to similar form.
“I was unlucky before Columbus,” Nogueira said. I just sprained it the day before the game. Then it felt better, but I was on the bench and didn't play.
