Union
rookie Raymon Gaddis will miss Saturday's match at Houston with a
one-game suspension, Major League Soccer's Disciplinary Committee
announced Thursday.
The right back also incurred a fine of an undisclosed amount.
Gaddis
recklessly tackled Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza in the
24th minute of the Union's 4-0 victory June 23. Espinoza had already
played the ball when Gaddis tackled him high, drawing a yellow card. (Video of the tackle is embedded above.)
The absence of Gaddis should not be such a burden for the Union,
assuming regular right back Sheanon Williams can return from a right
big-toe fracture. Wednesday, Union interim manager John Hackworth spoke
promisingly of Williams' progress and said Williams' return wouldn't be
out of the question.
