Impact Aaronson, the younger brother of former star Brenden, signed with Philadelphia as a Homegrown player during the offseason and could be next in line for a recent trend of promising young players from this club. Whether or not this praise from the manager turns into a regular role for the first team will be determined when he plays, so for now it's worth seeing what happens next.

Ilsinho - Out two months Ilsinho (groin) is expected to be out for two months after undergoing groin surgery, manager Jim Curtin told the media.
Impact Ilsinho has only played once this season and will now likely be out until late-July. As he's mostly a versatile spark plug for the Union, Ilsinho doesn't always offer much fantasy value by rarely starting. This situation will mean someone new will have to step up and offer depth off the bench in the early summer.
