Rapids attacker Shkëlzen Gashi is doubtful for the first leg of the Western Conference finals against Seattle, coach Pablo Mastroeni told reporters Tuesday at a media roundtable.
Gashi, who led the Rapids with nine goals in league play this season, suffered a bad sprain of his right ankle at the end of the first half of the second leg of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Nov. 6.
“Gashi is making improvements every day. He’s a lot further than anything I anticipated to this point,” Mastroeni said. ‘His participation in the first leg will be doubtful, but with the expectation that we’ll be able to get him in a good way for the home leg.
