International players return to Orlando City, offering boost ahead of New England match

SANFORD, Fla. — Orlando City’s training group at Lake Sylvan Park was a little larger on Thursday morning as five players returned after almost two weeks of international duty.

Will Johnson, Tesho Akindele and Kamal Miller returned from playing with the Canadian national team in the Cayman Islands on Wednesday night, while Carlos Ascues flew in from Los Angeles and Sebas Méndez traveled back from Ecuador.

With the risk of Hurricane Dorian, the players had departed directly from San Jose to their national teams. The group spent 12 days away from the Lions and will now look to recover in time for Saturday’s match.
