Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner met with reporters at the Power Training Complex Friday afternoon in what was expected to be an interview about the arrival of MLS pool goalkeeper Charlie Lyon.
But after talking about Lyon and a process it seemed like he had only recently learned was a thing (eight months on the job isn’t enough to learn the entire MLS rulebook, after all), Tanner explained the mysterious absence of Cory Burke by dropping a bombshell that the Jamaican international may not be back for the rest of the season.
