It was a whirlwind week for Caleb Porter. The Columbus Crew head coach came into the week expecting to prepare his team for two important games as the Black & Gold continued their push for the MLS Cup playoffs. But that took a turn on Tuesday.
Early that afternoon, Porter got a call from his wife that his son came home from school after having symptoms and testing positive for COVID-19. He quickly drove home and tested positive on a rapid test as well, then drove back to the facility — as the Crew was set to travel that evening for the team’s game against Nashville SC — and tested positive on a PCR test.
