Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s knee has strengthened in the past year, and now the LA Galaxy have been strengthened as well.
Reported during the Timbers post-match scrum by Delmy Barillas of LA Sports Access and confirmed again this morning by Adam Serrano, the 37-year old anticipates playing on artificial surfaces for the 2019 season. Not just this Friday at Vancouver vs. the Whitecaps, but potentially all season long. After fully recovering from a career-threatening ACL injury playing with Manchester United in 2017, Ibra now has the confidence to give turf a second chance having previously scoffed at the Providence Park turf last season.
