Andre Blake is still out injured, and is in talks over his next Union contract

Union star goalkeeper Andre Blake remains sidelined with the knee injury he suffered last weekend and is out for Saturday's game at D.C. United (7:30 p.m., Apple TV, free). Backup Oliver Semmle will start again, and with No. 3 netminder Holden Trent still recovering from surgery on a broken hand, reserve-team starter Andrew Rick will be called up to the first team for the fifth time this year. “Andre still has pain in the knee … he's not quite ready yet,” manager Jim Curtin said in his weekly news conference Friday.
