VANCOUVER, BC – Aly Ghazal could make his Vancouver Whitecaps FC debut as early as Saturday against Real Salt Lake (7 p.m. PT at BC Place – tickets still available).
“He’s definitely in the equation for the weekend, whether he starts or comes off the bench,” Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson told media on Wednesday. “It’s important with three games in a week I get him some minutes because we’re on the downhill stretch now.”
The ‘Caps acquired Ghazal last month after the Egyptian international and longtime Portuguese Primeira Liga midfielder mutually parted ways with Chinese Super League club Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng FC.
