Philly’s Edu is Motivated To Win Now
- Updated: February 24, 2016
A rejuvenated Edu is looking for Philly to do big things in 2016-USA Today Image
After enduring two frustrating seasons that were doomed in part by poor starts, Philadelphia Union captain Maurice Edu wants more than anything to help his team enjoy a productive first month of the year in 2016.
But it’s looking increasingly likely that he won’t be able to do that – at least not right away.
Because his recovery from sports hernia surgery in October has been going slower than expected, Edu is doubtful for the Union’s season opener on March 6 vs. FC Dallas (3 pm ET, MLS LIVE).
“It’s hard because I want to be out there playing, I want to be out there getting prepared for the season,” Edu told MLSsoccer.com by phone, from the Union’s preseason camp in Florida. “But I have to be smart and trust the staff we have here, listen to them, and make sure I put myself in the best position possible to get out there and help this team.”
