Out with shoulder injury

Sery is listed as out for the time being due to a shoulder injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Analysis: Sery is a new addition to Philadelphia's report this matchday with a shoulder injury, adding a defensive absence to a club that was already without Philippe Ndinga. He's been part of the Union's starting backline without carrying significant fantasy upside. That said, this will force a change, with Geiner Martinez as the likely replacement.
