Dealing with hip contusion
Westfield is considered day-to-day but could be ruled out of the midweek clash against Orlando because of a contusion in the hip, according to manager Bradley Carnell, Jonathan Tannenwald of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Westfield ended up with a mild injury from the blow he picked up in last weekend's loss to New England Revolution, but the next game appears to come too soon for him. Thus, Olivier Mbaizo, who replaced Westfield in the last match, might get a rare chance to feature at right-back. The 20-year-old had made 10 MLS starts prior to the issue, delivering an assist over that span.
Suffers injury in loss
Westfield left with a potential injury in the 31st minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss to New England Revolution.
Analysis: Westfield was replaced by Olivier Mbaizo after getting hurt during his second consecutive start at right-back. If he's dealing with a significant issue, he'll be unlikely to take part in the upcoming double game week against Orlando and Columbus and may not see a lot of action until after the World Cup break. He has made a diverse impact this season, but losing him would limit the team's power mainly in defensive aspects.
