When Union left back Fabinho was substituted out of Saturday’s game at halftime because of a knee injury, there was cause for concern. About an hour later, when he walked around the locker room saying he was fine, there was cause for relief.
It turns out he wasn’t fine.
The veteran Brazilian suffered an MCL sprain and a slight meniscus tear against the Columbus Crew and “possibly” will be out “a few weeks,” coach Jim Curtin said Thursday. Fabinho is likely to miss the March 31 game at the Colorado Rapids.
“We’re still, with our doctors, right now going through the options,” Curtin said.
