Union goalkeeper Andre Blake suffered a laceration to his right hand Wednesday while playing for Jamaica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final.
Blake was unable to return to the field in the 2-1 loss to the United States in Santa Clara, Calif. Jamaica’s captain split the “web of his hand between his index and middle finger,” according to a statement from the Union. The laceration required seven stitches that will be in for 10 days, but X-rays after the game were negative.
Blake was hurt in the 18th minute when he made a diving save to block a shot from Jozy Altidore, then sprang forward to punch away a second shot from Kellyn Acosta.
