Delivers 10 crosses in defeat
Sullivan had three shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England Revolution.
Analysis: Sullivan recorded three off-target shots, 10 crosses (two accurate) and one corner across the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to New England. Starting in midfield with Cavan Sullivan (ankle) unavailable, he was involved in Philadelphia's early attacking pressure before creating an excellent opportunity for Malik Jakupovic in the 86th minute following a driving run down the right flank, although Matt Turner denied the substitute's close-range attempt. Sullivan remained active throughout the match as Philadelphia searched for an equalizer, with his 10 crosses providing substantial fantasy production despite finishing without a goal contribution.
Assists as substitute
Sullivan had an assist with his lone chance created while taking one shot (on goal) and crossing three times inaccurately during Saturday's 4-3 win over Sporting KC.
Analysis: Sullivan entered the match at halftime and set up Milan Iloski for Philadelphia's third goal in the 68th. The attacker has combined for three goal involvements, six shots, three chances created and six crosses over his last three appearances, only one of which has been a start.
Scores and assists in win
Sullivan scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and two chances created in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Sullivan made the most of his 66 minutes, converting a penalty and setting up Bruno Damiani with a well-timed pass inside the box. Having largely come off the bench this season, this was one of his more impactful starting appearances, and his 17 shots and eight chances created across nine matches reflect consistent attacking involvement despite limited minutes. His next fixture against San Diego FC presents a competitive opportunity to push for more regular starting time.
Assists in win
Sullivan assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 win versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Sullivan made another appearance off the bench Sunday, recording his first assist of the season. He is still working his way back from an ACL injury, making four substitute appearances and logging 96 minutes. During that span, he has registered 13 crosses and seven shots as he continues to build fitness.
Reappears after ACL injury
Sullivan (knee) played 17 minutes during Wednesday's 3-1 win over New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Sullivan bounced back to the match squad following a lengthy absence, having required almost a full year to leave his ACL injury behind. He may continue to take gradual steps in his comeback so that he avoids a setback before seeing meaningful minutes on the field. He already got involved in offensive action Wednesday, creating one scoring chance and delivering two crosses from the right wing, with his presence in that zone causing his brother Cavan Sullivan to move to the opposite flank.
Option for Wednesday
Sullivan (knee) is set to be an option for Wednesday's match against the New York Red Bulls, according to Philadelphia Soccer Now.
Analysis: Sullivan was dealing with an injury ahead of the World Cup break, but has used that time to recover, with the midfielder set for minutes in Wednesday's contest. That said, he has yet to play since tearing his ACL last campaign, serving the last 10 months on the sidelines. He started in 24 of his 28 appearances while scoring two goals and seven assists before the injury last season, a useful, versatile midfielder for the club when fit.
Working on grass
Sullivan (knee) was shown doing slight drills on the grass and kicking the ball in a video posted by the club Tuesday.
Analysis: Sullivan might still be several weeks away from returning to competitive action after dealing with an ACL tear since October, but his increased workload is a good sign as he looks to play at some point in the 2026 season. The young attacker was very active in the 2025 MLS campaign, tallying two goals and seven assists across 28 games. Milan Iloski and Indiana Vassilev will be expected to stay busy on the wings while Sullivan remains out.
