Mikael Uhre - Doubtful for Open Cup Uhre (hip) is unlikely for Wednesday's match against the New York Red Bulls, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Uhre is looking like he will miss out once again due to his hip issues, as he is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Open Cup match. This would mark a fifth straight game missed, an unfortunate spell for the forward. If he doesn't make the team sheet, he will hope to be fit when facing New York again on Saturday.

Francis Westfield - Still inching towards return Westfield (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's match against the New York Red Bulls, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Westfield is seeing another update, but one that is similar to his last, as he is still not cleared for a return, but is closest to a return out of the club's injured players. This still leaves his timeline up in the air, but reassures that he is healing. Wednesday may be too soon, but he could look to see the field when they once again face the Red Bulls on Saturday.

Jesus Bueno - Unlikely for Saturday Bueno (hamstring) is unlikely for Saturday's match against the New York Red Bulls, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Bueno looks likely to miss yet another match due to his hamstring issues, with the defender now listed as doubtful. That said, he will have to make a huge effort to be fit for the contest, probably missing his second consecutive game. Even if he is fit, a bench spot would be expected after such doubt.

Nathan Harriel - Returns from Gold Cup Harriel (international duty) is back in Philadelphia, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Harriel has returned fit from the USMNT's time at the Gold Cup, although falling just short of winning the Cup. He is now eligible to play again with Philadelphia and should be on the team sheet to face the Red Bulls on Saturday.

Quinn Sullivan - Ready for MLS action Sullivan (international duty) has returned to Philadelphia from the USMNT, according to Joe Tansey of Bleacher Report.

Impact Sullivan is back from his time serving the US national team over the past few weeks. He returns fit and should return to a starting role in the midfield almost immediately, with the team set to take the field against the Red Bulls on July 12.

Kai Wagner - 13 crosses in loss Wagner sent in 13 crosses (five accurate), created four chances, and took one shot in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Nashville. He also picked up a yellow card for the second consecutive m...

Impact Wagner was active on both ends of the pitch, per usual, but he couldn't do enough to keep the Union from suffering their second straight 1-0 loss. He'll look to help Philadelphia bounce back in their upcoming home stand with four of their next five matches at home, beginning with an Eastern Conference clash with the New York Red Bulls.

Cavan Sullivan - Makes first MLS start at 15 Sullivan took one shot, won nine duels, and earned a yellow card in 61 minutes of action during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nashville SC.

Impact Despite the loss, it was a historic moment for the 15-year-old making his first career start. The sky is the limit for Sullivan, but he could return to a role off the bench in Saturday's home clash with the New York Red Bulls, given the return of brother Quinn Sullivan from the Gold Cup.

Jakob Glesnes - Strong defensively in loss Glesnes made three interceptions, three clearances, and blocked two shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Nashville. He also committed three fouls and picked up a yellow card.

Impact Glesnes did his part defensively, but it wasn't enough as the Union ultimately conceded a penalty kick goal in the 101st minute of stoppage time. He's a mainstay along the backline and has a touch of attacking upside with a lethal shot from distance when the opportunity arises. Look for Glesnes to continue to thrive in Philadelphia's upcoming homestand, starting with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

Andre Blake - Saves three in loss Blake made three saves in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Nashville.

Impact Blake was on the verge of a clean sheet before Nashville was awarded a penalty kick deep into stoppage time. He has now given up exactly one goal in each of his last four appearances. Blake and the Union are in a good spot to right the ship with four of their next five matches at home, starting with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

Tai Baribo - On bench Saturday Baribo (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Nashville.

Impact Baribo was quite productive before being sidelined, as he scored 13 goals across 16 league appearances (13 starts). After missing a month due to the injury, the striker is likely to play as a substitute, which doesn't guarantee him much performance. He should be a solid attacking threat though as soon as he replaces either Chris Donovan or Bruno Damiani.

Olivier Mbaizo - Starts against Nashville Mbaizo (groin) has been included in his team's starting lineup to face Nashville on Saturday.

Impact Mbaizo is making his third MLS start of the season Saturday in Alejandro Bedoya's place. The Cameroonian registered just five crosses (none accurate) during his previous 137 minutes of play. Still, he may have limited value in this game against one of the league's top offenses.

Jesus Bueno - Ruled out again Bueno (hamstring) is out for Saturday's trip to Nashville, per the MLS injury report.

Impact Bueno has been ruled out for Saturday's clash once more. The midfielder went the full 90 last time out but now lands back on the injury report. Jovan Lukic figures to come into the starting XI for Bueno during Saturday's clash.

Impact While Carnell left the door open for Westfield's return to action this weekend, it sounds as if Saturday's game will end up being too soon for the wing-back to return to the side. Westfield has started in 14 of his 17 appearances this season, tallying one goal and three assists from his right-back role.

Impact Baribo continues to work his way back from a calf problem, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to return this weekend or if he'll need more time. What's clear is that Philadelphia will undoubtedly welcome him back with arms wide open when he's ready to return. Baribo has netted 13 goals on 16 appearances (13 starts) this season.

He took one off-target shot and picked up a yellow card in his 27 minutes off the bench.
