Union forward Jay Simpson, who suffered a rib injury during a 2-2 draw with visiting Toronto on March 11, has returned to full-time training and is available for selection for Saturday's Major League Soccer game at D.C. United.

Simpson sat out the Union's 2-1 loss at Orlando on March 18. The Union has been off since for the international break.

"He's fine," Union coach Jim Curtin said Wednesday.

Simpson said he has been training since last week.

"It is still a bit sore, but there has been major improvement," Simpson said.

Curtin wouldn't say whether Simpson would return to the starting lineup.
