If Curt Onalfo has mastered anything three games into his first season as Galaxy coach, it’s the ability to view negatives as positives.
And that’s a good trait to have when you’re managing a team that has had twice as many starters lost to injury (six) as goals scored (three). The Galaxy didn’t even play a game in the last two weeks and they still lost arguably their best player when Sebastian Lletget went down with a foot injury 15 minutes into his competitive debut with the U.S. national team.
Lletget is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday and will miss a minimum of four months, meaning Onalfo will have to wait until at least August before he’ll have a chance to see his best 11 players on the field together.
