Carles Gil trained off to the side during Friday’s practice, according to head coach Bruce Arena.
On Aug. 3, The Bent Musket reported that Gil could miss three-plus weeks with a sports hernia. One day later, Arena told Zolak & Bertrand, “[Gil] has a little bit of a muscle strain. He’s going to be fine. We thought it was going to be a little more severe than that but it’s not.” He later added that any time he missed would be “short term.”
Gil didn’t make the game-day roster for that night’s scoreless draw against Nashville SC.
