The Columbus Crew will be missing at least two starters for MLS Cup after the team announced that Darlington Nagbe and Pedro Santos are not medically cleared to participate. The Crew also announced that another player tested positive for Covid-19, in addition to the positive test that came back on Tuesday. No other players or staff tested positive.
The Crew have now had 10 players test positive for Covid-19 during the playoffs, a full third of their roster. The outbreak had seemingly been contained, though, as more than a week had passed between positive tests prior to Tuesday’s announcement.
