Andre Blake will make his return to the Philadelphia Union starting XI on Wednesday night against the New England Revolution.

“Andre is back,” Union head coach Jim Curtin said on Tuesday.

Blake has not played for the Union since he exited the April 30 game against Seattle Sounders with an injury.

Blake has been rehabbing his knee for the last month and rejoined first-team training at the start of last week.

”You can feel a little more of a buzz, an energy at training. A familiar voice behind them and that gives confidence,” Curtin said. “That’s not a knock on the other goalkeepers at all because Andre is the best in this league at what he does. It’s not dissimilar to Bouanga, Mukhtar, Bernardeschi. When we get him back, he’s one of our best players. We’ve been without him for a very long stretch.”
