The Union’s appeal of Alejandro Bedoya’s red card in Saturday’s loss at Atlanta was rejected on Thursday. That means Bedoya will be out of Friday’s home game against Toronto FC (8 p.m., PHL17).
Bedoya was sent off after his second yellow card of the game, given for dissent before the penalty kick that led to Atlanta’s first goal.
The officials’ report included the foul language that Bedoya used, according to referee Storin Stoica. Union manager Jim Curtin said Thursday that Bedoya allegedly “called him an F-word and called him a cheat.”
Bedoya vehemently denied using any such words.
