Joseph suspended for return leg for New England

MLS fined and suspended New England Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph for the return leg of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, game #2 in New England. Joseph was fined and suspended for giving Fire midfielder Ivan Guerrero an elbow to the ribs in last Sunday's match at Toyota park in Chicago. The Fire currently hold a 1-0 lead in the home/away series.

I know that the Revs are playing at home, but you add this personnel setback with the possibility that Deuce will be out for the match due to his sprained ankle, which he picked up in the match against the Fire, things are not looking good for the defending Eastern Conference Champions.
