Union midfielder Haris Medunjanin has played soccer for long enough now that he doesn’t get hung up on any one thing. That’s even true when the one thing is the two-game extra suspension that followed the first red card of his 14-year professional career.
“It’s weird for me,” Medunjanin said. “I’m happy to be back, hopefully Saturday, to help the team.”
He shouldn’t need to worry about whether he’ll play. While the Union routed the Vancouver Whitecaps, 4-0, in one of the games Medunjanin missed, his absence was clearly felt in the other two: a 2-0 loss at home to Toronto FC on June 8 and this past Saturday’s 4-1 loss at Los Angeles FC.
