CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have lost consecutive games for the first time this season and are in a 0-2-1 skid as the MLS regular season winds down to its final weeks.
Some might argue this weekend’s break in the schedule – the Galaxy won’t play again until Sunday, Oct. 16 in Houston – will work to their detriment, but players took the opposite tack and said it could provide a much-needed boost.
Team captain Robbie Keane, for example, said the time off affords the team a chance to get healthier. Gyasi Zardes, has missed the last six games because of a broken foot, but he was at Tuesday’s training session in running shoes and was walking without any noticeable limp.
