Faryd Mondragon Injury Update: Philadelphia Union Say Return Date Still Unclear
Mondragon was hurt during the first half of Saturday's game against Real Salt Lake and was replaced at halftime by 20-year-old rookie Zac MacMath. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft looked solid in goal, saving three shots and not allowing a score. The performance was praised by Union goalkeeping coordinator Rob Vartughian:
