No longer banned
Lukic is an option once again after missing the midweek match against Inter Miami through suspension.
Analysis: Lukic will aim to claim a starting spot back from Jesus Bueno for the remainder of the year, restoring his all-around value as he tries to help his team through his ability to win midfield duels. However, after failing to score and delivering one assist across 18 matches played this season, Lukic can't be relied on for decisive contributions on a regular basis.
Set for suspension
Lukic will serve a one-match ban in the midweek clash with Inter Miami after earning his fifth yellow card of the season Sunday versus NYCFC, per Philadelphia Soccer Now.
Analysis: Lukic will be ineligible for the first time since the 2026 season opener in February, and his next chance to appear will come in next weekend's visit to Austin. This news forces the Union to use a different central midfield option alongside Danley Jean Jacques, with Jesus Bueno and veteran Alejandro Bedoya among the available alternatives. After serving his suspension, Lukic will regain his status as a constant presence in possessions and midfield battles.
