Takeaways: Brujo, Injuries and an update on Cory Burke

Prior to tomorrow evening’s match against FC Cincinnati, Philadelphia Union Head Coach Jim Curtin spoke to the media about the second match up between these two clubs in as many weeks. Here are a few of the key takeaways from the presser.

Brujo to stay with Union
By many in the soccer world it is seen as the top honor to get to play for your country. José Martínez was a first time call up to the Venezuelan national team this year, an opportunity he was very much looking forward to. After much back and forth with the Venezuelan national team, MLS, the Union, and Brujo, it was decided that he will join the Venezuela National and instead will stick with the Union.
