For the past month, much of the talk at the MLS is Back Tournament has been about the players and staff living in the bubble, the self-contained, Truman Show-like environment designed to keep out COVID-19. But Charlie Lyon isn't just living in the bubble, he's also existing in a pool.
This is not to suggest that Lyon has taken up residence in the Grotto Pool in between the Swan and Dolphin hotels. Rather, Lyon is one of two pool goalkeepers, players signed with MLS but who don't have a team. They are on call -- at least in theory -- for every team in the league in case of a keeper emergency due to injury or suspension.
