During training on Monday, Clint Dempsey and Nelson Valdez were spotted fully participating. The two did not travel with the team for the 3-1 loss against Colorado on Saturday, which saw a penalty kick save from Stefan Frei and a second goal in as many games from Jordan Morris. Following the practice, Sigi was asked about Dempsey and Valdez’ health ahead of Saturday’s home match against Columbus:
“Both Dempsey and Valdez went through training, pretty much. Valdez and Dempsey as well did some extra fitness at the end so we will see how they feel on Wednesday.”
During the game against Colorado, we also saw Andreas Ivanschitz subbed off in the 50th minute due to an injury.
