D.C. United News
The Black-and-Red are coming off a 2-0 loss against Chicago Fire FC at Audi Field on March 12 in their first loss of the season. After their last result, D.C. United now have a 2-1-0 record in 2022. The team have no players listed on the injury list for Saturday’s match, with Russell Canouse coming off the list and available to play this weekend.
Head Coach Hernán Losada on Upcoming Match:
“It was our best game [against Chicago], especially on the ball, in transition, and pressing the opponent, and we still lost. I can also tell you that we didn't play well against Cincinnati and we still won, so I always try to be honest, not only towards the players but also towards the press. When you compare the first two games with our last home game, we played a lot better. There were many key moments, or turning points during the game that could have ended in a good result for us, opportunities we missed, and we didn't take it, and at the end, you lose the game. We move forward, we go to the next one knowing that we have three more points than last season—six out of nine. It’s still a great start to the season, knowing that a few pieces still have to arrive, and the team needs to get stronger.”
