Facing a stretch of three games over eights days, the first two of those on the road, the depth Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has praised will be stretched with several key absences.
In addition to Andre Blake and Chris Pontius still being out on international duty for the Gold Cup, midfielder Derrick Jones will miss Wednesday’s game in Montreal with a concussion.
Curtin said Jones picked up the concussion in the Swansea City friendly but after initially passing the protocol woke up with symptoms the following morning.
