Notebook: Dielna, Angking progressing, plus loan updates on Samayoa, Segbers
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Claude Dielna is on the mend after the New England Revolution defender was forced off at halftime of last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Seattle Sounders FC.
Dielna passed a late fitness test and started at left back against Seattle, but he was replaced by Gabriel Somi after 45 minutes as he suffered from “a bit of a muscle issue in his lower back.”
The issue kept Dielna out of full training on Tuesday morning, but the 30-year-old veteran was put through an intense workout by head of fitness Anton McElhone and he remains in contention for a place in the squad on Saturday night when the LA Galaxy visit Gillette Stadium.
