During his weekly press conference on Wednesday, Jim Curtin addressed the media regarding the status of the Union as they prepare for their road game in Toronto. Part of his press conference focused on injury-related news and what that would mean for the Union going forward.
Tranquillo Barnetta
Barnetta did not participate in Wednesday's morning training session and Curtin said his abscense was a result of swelling he was experiencing in his knee. During last Saturday’s match, Barnetta collided with another player resulting in inflamation in his knee.
In terms of the extent of the injury, Curtin did not seem worried and said he does not expect Barnetta to miss this weekend’s match.
