Maurice Edu’s long-running injury saga could finally be coming to an end.
The 31-year-old midfielder is headed to Bethlehem this weekend, to join up with the Union’s minor-league USL team. He could play for Steel in Sunday’s game against Louisville City at Lehigh University’s Goodman Stadium (5 p.m., live video streaming here.), though it’s not guaranteed. The Union only announced that Edu has been placed on Steel 27-player game day roster for the contest.
Edu has not played for the Union since Sept. 30, 2015 due to a series of injuries. He dealt with a partially torn groin muscle during the latter stages of the 2015 season.
