Federico Higuain began the Crew SC season with abdominal pain and said he played through it to the point where, “I run like crap.”
The 31-year-old playmaker returned to the lineup Saturday night, late in the Crew's 2-2 draw against Orlando FC, and thinks the playoffs are still a possibility despite a seven-point deficit to overcome in the final 14 games.
“I believe there’s a lot of games left,” the Argentine told The Dispatch without aid of a translator. (Fourteen games), that’s a big number. We are going to try our best. We know we must improve our soccer.
