Mikael Uhre’s long awaited arrival is coming tomorrow.
The Denmark international striker is expected to arrive in Philadelphia on Friday, Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin said in his weekly press conference on Thursday afternoon.
Uhre was acquired for a club record $2.8 million transfer fee from Brondby IF in Denmark last month but his arrival has been delayed by a slowed visa process.
“He’ll be in Philadelphia tomorrow, probably not in time for training,” Curtin said.
Uhre’s status for the season opener against Minnesota United at Subaru Park on Saturday remains uncertain but at the very least he’ll be able to take in his first game at his new home stadium.
