Philadelphia Union Head Coach Bradley Carnell announced in a press conference that Nate Harriel, Bruno Damiani, and Indiana Vassilev will be available for the team's home opener on Saturday. These players were not part of the lineup against Orlando City.
"Nate's training in the right direction and you know he's been training with us this week or full go," said Carnell. "He's definitely belongs to the available roster this coming weekend."
Carnell confirmed that Bruno Damiani has returned from his visa engagement and is now fully back in training with the club, making him eligible for selection this weekend.
Indiana Vassilev, acquired before the season opener, joined his new teammates on Monday and has quickly adapted to his new environment. Carnell expressed confidence in Vassilev's readiness to play. "I've known Indy for a couple of years now, and I know what he brings on the field," Carnell stated. "He arrived here like he's been playing with the team for six months already."
Ian Glavinovich, who was part of the matchday roster against Orlando City and played as a substitute, is also expected to be available despite missing part of preseason due to a muscle injury. "We're pushing him as we can, and he's available," Carnell mentioned.
