Columbus Crew SC have a quick return as they set off on the three game road trip with a familiar opponent in Philadelphia Union. Both sides will be battling fatigue as they play midweek.
Federico Higuain remains unavailable as he is still recovering from his ankle injury and Harrison Afful is an addition to the injury list. The rest of the first team should be ready to go as Gregg Berhalter will likely deploy the three man backline again. Niko Hansen is getting back to fitness and is available while Mohammed Abu is still getting back to 100%.
