This story on the U20s says Santinio is now avialable after a long layoff. He seemed pretty healthy in warm-ups last Sunday. Is it possible he might see action against KC? http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/NationalTeams/20031022215124/view
If he is healthy, he will probably be used. I doubt he would start, but with all the players we are missing, he we be a nice option to have.
maybe as a sub for one of our unproductive but threatening forwards... but you know how much Ray likes to use his subs.
Hadn't he been shifted to midfield right before he got hurt? I seem to remember him as an outside halfback in the 4-goal comeback at New England in early August. With Olsen out, Earnie nursing a tender groin, and Dema suspended - I think our no longer crowded midfield might be an option.
