CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will continue their preseason docket on Tuesday when they face Liga MX side Club Tijuana.
The match is expected to feature the Los Angeles return of former Galaxy midfielder Juninho but it’s not the Brazilian’s return that has supporters excited for the match. Over the last two weeks, the Galaxy have completed a whirlwind offseason by signing experienced defenders Ashley Cole and Jelle Van Damme as well as established midfielder Nigel de Jong.
Ahead of Tuesday’s friendly, I analyze the prospects of all three players playing against Club Tijuana:
