The Philadelphia Union got their teenage star back just in time.
Cavan Sullivan returned from an ankle injury on Saturday, coming off the bench for the final 30 minutes of a 1-0 loss at FC Cincinnati. He had missed the loss to New England and a scoreless draw at Nashville. He had one shot and created one chance.
Before the injury, Sullivan had six goals and four assists in nine appearances. The Union have already clinched a playoff spot, and he's likely to start on Decision Day.
Harbor Miller's big night
Another young American made MLS's weekly honors. LA Galaxy homegrown Harbor Miller, 19, had two assists in a 4-1 win over Austin FC, the first multi-contribution game of his MLS career. He was named to the bench of the MLS Team of the Matchday, and he now has five league assists on the season.
Decision Day
Every team closes the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Union host Toronto FC at 4 p.m. ET at Subaru Park.
The top seven teams in each conference go straight to Round One, while seeds eight and nine play Wild Card games on Nov. 18, the day after the November international window ends.
It's been a big year for young Americans in MLS. Sullivan, Julian Hall and Peyton Miller have all reached at least seven goals and four assists as teenagers. The final weeks will show who carries that form into the postseason.
