In a remarkable turnaround, the Philadelphia Union have managed to turn their season around, now fighting for a playoff spot and a chance to compete for the MLS Cup. Just a few months ago, they were sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, struggling to climb the standings and secure a single victory.
While the coaching change revitalized the squad, the rise of the young sensation Cavan Sullivan and his relentless attacking style have been equally crucial in transforming the team into a genuine contender.
However, the young player was unable to feature in the previous match due to an injury to his left ankle. Now, the question remains whether that injury is still affecting him and whether he will be fit enough to play tonight against Nashville SC.
Is Cavan Sullivan playing tonight for the Philadelphia Union against Nashville SC?
Unfortunately, I've got some bad news, guys. Cavan Sullivan's injury will keep him sidelined for another matchday, meaning the young forward won't even be on the bench for the Union's away clash against the Supporters' Shield winners.
It's a tough blow for the Union, who had been enjoying a strong run of form before suffering a 2-1 defeat to the New England Revolution.
To be fair, and without taking anything away from the quality of his teammates, Sullivan's absence is a key factor that affects the team's attacking play, and I don't even want to imagine the impact it could have against what has been the best team of the regular season.
So far this season, the young star has played 27 matches, an impressive number for a 17-year-old, while also recording seven goals and seven assists, showing exactly why he is such a crucial player for the Union.
Philadelphia’s response to this setback will be tested against Nashville SC, and there’s no doubt this matchup promises to be both intriguing and exciting.
