Union defender Kai Wagner reflects on NYCFC, prepares for Inter Miami FC

The Philadelphia Union weren’t supposed to play Inter Miami FC on Tuesday night, however, after Nashville SC was removed from the tournament with multiple players testing positive for COVID-19, the Union ended up with a schedule change just a few days before their match.

The team now looks to improve to 2-0-0 in tournament play tonight and a key factor to their success will be defender Kai Wagner, who, after spending six months nursing an injured leg, returned to play against NYCFC for a full 90-minute match on Thursday.

After the win, Wagner felt confident is his team’s ability to continue their success and push themselves against better teams.
