Levi Houapeu Placed On Season Ending Injury List
The Philadelphia Union have placed attacking midfielder Levi Houapeu on the Season Ending Injury list, according to roster information the Brotherly Game received from a league source.
While Houapeu's salary still needs to be paid by the Union, his international roster spot is opened up because of his new designation. The 23-year-old Houapeu has suffered from a multitude of injuries this season, most severe of which has been a sprained ankle.
The following paragraph from the 2011 MLS Roster Rules is what Houapeu now falls under:
Placing Houapeu on the list allowed the Union to sign defender Joe Tait, who required an international player slot himself, as a replacement player.
