It seems like we’ve said this numerous times, but it’s been a busy week for Columbus Crew SC. The Black & Gold picked up a needed 1-0 win on Saturday against the Philadelphia Union, but fell on the road to the Union, 3-0, on Wednesday night.
The loss came at some cost as Crew SC will be without center backs Jonathan Mensah and Lalas Abubakar for a trip out to Real Salt Lake.
Due to the suspensions of the defenders, at least one of Josh Williams and Nicolai Naess are all but guaranteed to see the field Saturday in Sandy, UT.
