DGW Players

• Keane-did not make the trip.
• Zardes– out for the year,
• Gerrard-out at least this week
• Van Damme-2-3 week timetable puts him out this week and next
• Drogba-Has previously been declared out for tonight, but Biello said everyone was healthy, so check the lineups. Be wary though: he is on yellow card warning
• Mallace-Red card rescinded so will be available
• Molino and Larin-confirmed out for game 1 of the DGW with international duty
• Glad-Did some training by himself with hamstring tightness. Not sure if he plays, but I’m leaning no b/c of my wariness with hamstring injuries

• Giovinco– Remember that 4 week timeline a week ago? Well Vanney said today Giovinco may be ready for NEXT WEEK. Perhaps this is gamesmanship, but get a plan ready in case as TFC has a home DGW in 31.
• Irwin– back healthy, so Bono is out
• Bingham– no update on his injury, likely out this week. Tarbell appears to be his replacement
• Higuain -returned to action
• Hedges-Looked to have a concussion but passed concussion protocol post game. Looks like he’ll be healthy, although Dallas and New England will likely rotate heavily with the US Open Cup Final on Tuesday.
• Grella-suspended YC accumulation
• Muyl-suspended YC accumulation
• Acosta-suspended YC accumulation
  Cubo Torres loaned for the year,
• Agus and Horst- likely out
• Dempsey-no update as of yet.
