Philadelphia Union have added midfielder Kellan LeBlanc to their roster for tonight’s match against the New England Revolution. LeBlanc, who has been with Union II in MLS NEXT Pro, signed a short‑term agreement that makes him eligible for the game under MLS roster rules. The league allows clubs to bring up to four short‑term contracts from their affiliates each season, with a maximum of 16 days total, and a player may appear in no more than two league matches during the season.
This is LeBlanc’s third short‑term call‑up in 2026. He was on the Union’s matchday squad for the May 24th league game at Inter Miami CF and for the Leagues Cup fixture against Santos Laguna on August 13th. The club has used the short‑term mechanism to provide depth for the latter part of the season, and LeBlanc’s inclusion gives the coaching staff another option in midfield as the Union face the Revolution in a crucial late‑season clash.
Union head coach Ryan Richter will decide how to deploy LeBlanc in the lineup, but the player’s familiarity with the club’s system and recent experience on the bench should help him slot in quickly if called upon. The short‑term agreement also means LeBlanc can participate in any non‑league games that the Union schedule in the coming weeks, giving him further opportunities to prove his readiness for the MLS level.
