We have talked about Yangel Herrera’s imminent return ad nauseam during this long international break. But finally, it has been confirmed by manager Domé Torrent that the young Venezuelan will be available this upcoming weekend against D.C. United.
According to The Athletic’s Christian Araos, Torrent says that Herrera can play “15-20 minutes” against the Black-and-Reds this Sunday.
Due to the nature of Herrera’s injury, all signs seem to point to Torrent using him in a substitute role to gauge his fitness levels and save his first start for the opening round of the playoffs.
