Sporting KC captain Matt Besler passes concussion protocol, returns to practice

Sporting Kansas City welcomed its captain back to the practice field Monday.

After missing the past two matches, Matt Besler rejoined his teammates subsequent to passing Major League Soccer’s concussion protocol. His availability for Wednesday’s match against Colorado will be determined based on his response to a full practice session Monday.

“He looked good. It’s definitely a good step,” coach Peter Vermes said. “It’s just going to (come down to) how is he feeling today and tomorrow, and us being smart about it.”

Besler suffered a concussion in a practice session with the U.S. men’s national team in Guatemala on March 24.
