Dealing with groin issue Glesnes is playing through a groin issue that has been bothering him for quite some time, head coach Jim Curtin told media, including Philadelphia Union beat writer Joe Tansey, on...

Impact Curtin said the issue is manageable and more of a "pain tolerance" for the tolerance, so it sounds like the Union will limit his workload in training rather than sitting him down in the final rounds of the regular season. In any case, if he can't play, then Philadelphia would likely drift from a 3-4-1-2 to a 4-3-1-2 with Damion Lowe and Jack Elliott as center-backs.
