For those who might reasonably have started to think otherwise, today brought encouraging confirmation that the New York Red Bulls are capable of good news on the subject of the fitness and availability of their players.
In further good news, it would appear doubts over Omer Damari's visa status have also been settled:
Jesse Marsch stated that, if needed, Omer Damari could go 45 minutes tomorrow night. #RBNY #NYvMTL

And, of course, the team has Gonzalo Veron fresh off his best back-to-back performances for RBNY to date.
