SAN JOSE — Defensive stalwart Marvell Wynne is not training with the Earthquakes after a heart abnormality was discovered during a routine annual physical examination, the team announced Monday.
Wynne, who turns 31 in May, is undergoing more evaluations. San Jose officials will release more information once those exams are done.
The Quakes suddenly find themselves in a defensive hole with the Major League Soccer season a month away. They announced Friday that projected starter Harold Cummings underwent a successful sports hernia surgery. Cummings, 24, signed Jan. 7 as the likely successor to retired center back Clarence Goodson.
