Fort Wayne Football Club regrets to announce that goalkeeper Aurie Briscoe was unable to join Puerto Rico’s National Team for the upcoming FIFA Series, due to a minor injury Briscoe suffered in a recent training session.
Briscoe, 24, was named to the National Team on March 16, the third time he’d been selected for Puerto Rico’s roster in his career.
The FIFA Series features 36 teams playing in eight different countries. Puerto Rico, one of the hosts, is in a group with American Samoa, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with two friendlies on the docket for each. Puerto Rico is scheduled to play today and Saturday.
Fort Wayne FC plays at the New York Cosmos 2 p.m. Saturday. A replacement for Briscoe will be announced in the coming days and he is considered week-to-week with the injury.
For those wishing to watch Fort Wayne FC’s match Saturday, there will be an official watch party at JK O’Donnell’s Irish Pub.
