With his transfer paperwork completed and his immigration documents in order, Jonathan dos Santos, the newest addition to the Galaxy roster, will be in uniform for Sunday morning’s crucial Western Conference showdown with the Portland Timbers (11 a.m., ESPN, ESPN Deportes).
The same can’t be said of captain Jelle Van Damme. The Belgian defender is suspended for the next two matches, the first for yellow-card accumulation and the second after drawing his third red card of the season in last month’s draw with Seattle.
And given Van Damme’s comments ahead of last week’s MLS All-Star Game in Chicago, he seems torn over whether he wants to return at all.
