After seeing seven Orlando City players sit out of recent matches with injuries, the Lions are beginning to near full strength as the team approaches the final four matches of the regular season.
Lions coach Oscar Pareja said Monday midfielder Mauricio Pereyra has returned to full-team training. Pereyra appeared to suffer a hamstring injury during the first half of the Lions' 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls Oct. 3 and missed the past six games due to the injury.
His return to full-team training has been encouraging to Pareja, who said he hopes to include Pereyra in a game day lineup either Wednesday against Atlanta or Sunday against Montreal.
