Matt Freese - Needs to earn spot Freese won't be declared the starter ahead of Thursday's trip to Orlando City, according to manager Jim Curtin via Joe Tansey of Fox Philadelphia.

Impact Freese was suspended for Saturday's win over D.C. United and the relative similarities between him and Joe Bendik mean it'll take longer to determine who will start. Both are backups to Andre Blake, though his time at the Gold Cup has yet to finish.
