Giancarlo Gonzalez was training off to the side today, and is expected to join the full team tomorrow.
There’s also a possibility that he’ll be available for selection on Saturday vs PHI. #LAGalaxy #MLS
The club haven’t released any details but it is likely GM Dennis te Kloese had to fork over a significant figure to move up in the allocation order. We’ll know more in the coming days.
