Jim Curtin announced that the Union captain would miss a minimum of 3 months.
The loss of Maurice Edu until mid-June, at the very least, is a major blow to the Union's hopes for a strong start to the 2016 season. The 29 year old former international carries a mixture of talent and veteran leadership that makes him one of the most valuable players on the roster. He was also expected to help the young, patchwork backline gel quicker and help to turn the Union into a possible playoff contender.
Curtin has a bevy of replacements that can take Edu's regular spot at defensive midfielder in the starting XI.
