Back in squad
Fofana (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Fofana returns to the group after a lower-body problem ruled him out for the first three weeks of October. The central man has scored and assisted once this season and is averaging 6.4 clearances and 1.9 tackles per game in league play. A spot on the bench points to a gradual return, and Ethan Kohler, who has often filled in at center-back, will keep the job for now.
Out with lower body problem
Fofana won't play Saturday against Seattle Sounders after picking up a lower body injury, the MLS reported Friday.
Analysis: Fofana has been a defensive contributor for New England, and his lower body absence adds to a Revolution availability picture that has been tested across multiple positions this season. This situation will put an end to his run of all minutes played in the last 26 league games, a period in which he tallied 167 clearances, 50 tackles and 35 interceptions, as well as one goal and an assist. Ethan Kohler, who has often been deployed at center-back, could move from midfield to defense to fill the void, with midfielder Brooklyn Raines looking to complete the starting lineup.
