Many Major League Soccer teams are struggling with injuries at the moment, and fans are waiting patiently to see their teams back to full strength. With starting-caliber players, such as David Villa for New York City FC, Ezequiel Barco in Atlanta and Orlando’s Uri Rosell, among others, nursing muscle strains, it can be difficult to keep track of all their recoveries. Here’s a look at some injury updates from reporters across the country who attended MLS training sessions the past few days. And here is the league’s latest list of injuries.
David Villa & Alex Ring both trained on the side today on the bye week for #NYCFC. Patrick Vieira predicted they will be put in full training on Monday before a decision is made on their availability for Wed. #NYCvRSL #MLS

Sounds unlikely that Felipe Gutierrez will play this weekend. Peter Vermes called him day to day but said he will opt for the long term over the short term. #SportingKC

Jogging around the field this morning, Luke Mulholland (hamstring) yelled out, “You’ve got to tweet it, Luke’s back!”
(To be clear, not back to full training yet.)

For what it's worth, Savarese did say this on Ridgewell today: "He's training very well, so soon I think he's going to be back for sure."
I included that and Savarese's other comments on Ridgewell in today's article #RCTID #MLS https://t.co/XdLoTxeNnL— Jamie Goldberg (@Jamiebgoldberg) April 4, 2018
