Alan Pulido "ready to be included" says Peter Vermes with mid-week match ahead

Sporting Kansas City striker Alan Pulido remained off the gameday roster for Sporting Kansas City's tilt with FC Dallas on Saturday, extending his absence to four consecutive games, but he returned to full team training this week and Manager Peter Vermes says he's close to being back in action.

"He’s been doing a lot of individual training and he trained with the team (Friday), so he’s been working really hard and he’s progressing really well," Vermes said on Friday. "The fact that he’s training with the team is a good thing."

Vermes also explained the precautious approach the club has taken to ensure he's fully prepared and recovered from the setback.
