When Columbus Crew SC added Designated Player Pedro Santos last week, there was one question on everyone’s mind: when will we see Santos in the lineup for Crew SC?
Usually, manager Gregg Berhalter will suggest that a new player needs to improve their fitness or learn the team’s system before being plugged into the lineup, but in the case of Santos, Berhalter suggested that the process for obtaining a visa was still underway.
Berhalter said he expects Pedro's visa to take weeks (plural) to arrive. Said it would be hard for it to be in by Saturday's game.
