Union's season finale not meaningless for players who could be sent packing

Union manager Jim Curtin doesn’t shy away from the fact that Sunday’s season finale against Orlando City is “without consequence.” It won’t even be an opportunity to give first-team minutes to prospects, because the key ones went to Bethlehem Steel’s playoff game in Louisville on Friday.

But there will be a few names in the spotlight Sunday, because of questions about their futures with the team. Keep an eye on these players, and how much — or how little — they’re on the field.

Midfielders Roland Alberg and Ilsinho: They are the top playmakers on the Union’s depth chart, but they haven’t lived up to the billing.
