Columbus Crew SC are back from the Gold Cup break and have a bit of ground to make up. They are currently outside the playoffs as they face the Philadelphia Union twice in five days. It’s a perfect chance to climb back keep in the playoff hunt with only 14 games left in the season.
The team will have to do it without Federico Higuain who picked up an ankle injury that will keep him out of the game. The rest of the starters are fully fit with Justin Meram back to practicing without pain.
