After missing the Union's win over Kansas City on Sunday because of an illness, goalkeeper Andre Blake seems set to be fine for Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup final at Houston (8 p.m., ESPN2 and Univision Deportes).
Blake was scratched from Sunday's lineup just over an hour before kickoff, forcing John McCarthy into action. Blake trained Monday but wasn't quite at full strength yet and left the field before the rest of the team. The sense among the Union's coaching and medical staffs was that it was a short-term bug.
"He'll be fine," manager Jim Curtin said before the team left for Houston on Monday evening.
