Mikael Uhre out with a quad injury

Mikael Uhre’s home debut won’t be happening tonight at Subaru Park.

Uhre picked up a quad injury and isn’t in the game day roster for the match against San Jose Earthquakes.

Uhre made his debut off the bench last weekend in Montreal. Julian Carranza picked up a second yellow card in the match so head coach Jim Curtin is down two of his forwards for the match.

Cory Burke and Sergio Santos are paired up in the starting lineup.

UPDATE: Jim Curtin post-game said they found out Uhre would miss the game at noon on Saturday.

“Tonight would have been fun to watch him with his speed and the chances that he could have created but it’s a long season,” Curtin said. “We didn’t want to make a mistake and make things worse so we erred on the side of caution.”
