New England will get an important piece back in the fold tonight as Latif Blessing returned to the squad after a two-game absence. Blessing had traveled to Ghana to complete necessary visa paperwork, which has now allowed his wife and daughter to join him in the United States for the first time, giving the midfielder an extra spring in his step. 

Veteran midfielder Emmanuel Boateng has been New England’s super-sub for much of his Foxborough tenure since arriving in 2021. Over the last two weeks, Boateng has found himself back in a starting role and is now delivering impact performances from the opening kick.

Earlier this week, the Revolution confirmed that Borrero’s left knee injury would keep the young Colombian on the sideline for the rest of 2023. 

The Boston Herald also covered the team’s official news that Borrero would be moving to the season-ending injury list.
