After a fast rise to prominence early this year, Derrick Jones has been out of the spotlight for two months now. But that could change if Union manager Jim Curtin decides to have Jones step in for the suspended Alejandro Bedoya in Saturday’s game at Minnesota United (8 p.m., TCN).
Curtin said Wednesday that he’ll pick either Jones or Warren Creavalle to replace Bedoya in midfield. As is custom, his decision won’t be known until the starting lineup is announced an hour before kickoff. But there will be plenty of outside observers hoping Jones gets the call, and for good reason.
