Union showing just how important depth and versatility can be

When the Union face off against Real Salt Lake, it will most likely be without both Fabian Herbers and Roland Alberg, who are out with various injuries. But in their place will be Fafa Picault and Ilsinho, respectively. And with Derrick Jones up with the U-20 US Men’s National Team, the Union will have players getting chances for playing time and competing for open slots on the game day 18.

All of it just goes to show how great of depth the Union have, and how the team isn’t afraid to make personnel changes.

“It’s a next man up mentality,” Head Coach Jim Curtin said.
