The Union have confirmed that goalie Brian Sylvestre's short-term loan has been extended for eight weeks. Sylvestre was on a short-term loan from the Carolina RailHawks of the North American Soccer League.
In addition, the Union loaned rookie forward Dzenan Catic to the RailHawks. Catic has not seen action this year for the Union.
The Inquirer reported on Friday that the deal was agreed to, but it had to await approval from Major League Soccer.
Sylvestre is expected to be the starter in Sunday's 7 p.m. game at PPL Park against D.C. United (6-1-3).
The 22-year-old Sylvestre played his first game for the Union last Saturday in a 3-0 loss at Vancouver, the day he joined the team.
The Union (1-7-3) have lost four in a row and look to avoid the first five-game losing streak in the six-year history of the franchise.
