Battered Galaxy hurting on, off the field

The Galaxy's woes this spring aren't necessarily a case of déjà vu all over again. But they're reminiscent of that.

The Galaxy were so riddled with injuries last season, theyt entered one week missing 12 players and played another game with just four outfield players on the bench. That jinx has carried over to this season, one in which the team has already seen nine starters sidelined by injury, international duty or suspension heading into Saturday's game with the New York Red Bulls (3-3-0) at StubHub Center (SSN, Spectrum Deportes, 7:30 p.m. PT).

"I am looking forward to the day when everyone is fit and on the pitch together," captain Ashley Cole said after a training session this week.
