Let’s start with a quick introduction. I am a physical therapist working in the Philadelphia area out on the Main Line. I grew up in South Jersey playing club soccer and played for four years at Arcadia University. I later attended physical therapy school at Arcadia as well. I currently play locally in the Casa League for South Philly United and at Starfinder in Manayunk. I have been a Union fan since inception and thought that I could combine my training and my love of soccer to help share some info on injuries and rehabilitation as it relates to the Union and sport in general.
The Union’s starting left back, Kai Wagner, has been off the grid since an injury suffered in the preseason around January 27 Since then, Wagner has not been seen training and no Nigeria WhatsApp Number List imetable for the young German to return has been given. As of Wednesday, manager Jim Curtin said that he hoped that Wagner could start running by the end of this week.
The front office’s tight-lipped approach as to what injury Wagner suffered has been frustrating for fans who understand his importance to giving the Union width and service from the left side. While Matt Real’s performance against Dallas was adequate, the German as regarded as a top level left back in MLS and potential best XI player (if MLS didn’t have a back 3 in their best XI). So what is going on?
What we do know
About five weeks ago we were told Wagner suffered a lower leg injury in training and would need some time to recover. More recently it has been called a calf injury. At the time, most thought it was proper to not rush him back and make sure he was ready for the start of the season. Since then, we have gotten little information on his progress. Even in the days leading up to the opening match in Dallas, Jim Curtin was non-committal on whether Wagner would play or not, and he’s since been ruled out of this weekend’s match.
