The next man up mindset is one that is preached across the entire sports landscape. The ability to count on everyone on your roster is crucial for a head coach. For Jim Curtin and the Philadelphia Union, that mentality will be heavily emphasized in their locker room this Friday against Orlando SC.
Warren Creavalle will be unavailable Friday after receiving a straight red card this past Saturday against the Chicago Fire. Creavalle’s absence will give Vincent Nogueira and others an opportunity to take advantage of playing time. Curtin expressed the depth of his club and the options he has on his roster.
