Friedel: “Some interesting decisions to make” as competition for places heats up

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Diego Fagundez is one of five players – along with Teal Bunbury, Andrew Farrell, Cristian Penilla, and Matt Turner – to have started each of the New England Revolution’s first 10 games of the 2018 season.

That’ll change on Saturday night when Columbus Crew SC visit Gillette Stadium, however, as Fagundez will serve a one-game suspension for yellow-card accumulation.

While the Revs will no doubt miss Fagundez’s presence as their chief playmaker in central midfield – he’s currently third in MLS in chances created (34), according to Opta – head coach Brad Friedel noted that he and his staff have several options as they determine how to fill that gap on Saturday night.
