Prior to Sunday’s Union-Revolution clash, Philadelphia’s USL team, Bethlehem Steel FC, will scrimmage Georgetown University for its second preseason match, which may feature a pair of faces familiar to local fans.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Bethlehem inked former Revolution Youth Academy star Gabe Gissie to a USL deal. Gissie was last seen training with the Revolution senior team<\/a> after his controversial contract with Sacramento Republic FC<\/a> expired last fall.<\/p>\n

Another player who’s spent time with the Steelmen this winter is former Rhode Island Oceaneers striker Nana Addai, who’s reportedly\u00a0trialed with the USL side over the last few weeks<\/a>. The Liberian international was one of two Oceaneers named to the 2015 ASL All-Star team.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s scrimmage between Bethlehem Steel and Georgetown will kick off at 11:00 am on the Union training fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
