3 Down, 1 to Go

Last Thursday, FCD began a four games in nine days stretch that will conclude this Friday against Kansas City here at PHP. With so many games in such a short period of time, the practices lately have been a little shorter, to get the guys off the field and out of the heat so they get some much needed rest.

Today's warmup began at 9am, and after that the team was split into two groups -- basically those that have played a lot in the last couple of games, and those that haven't. The first group went through a recovery session and finished by 10 am. while the second group went through some attack buildup / finishing drills and ended around 10:30.

Arturo Alvarez (right quad) and Bobby Rhine (left ankle) did not train today as both are still recovering from injuries, although Arturo was outside working with the training staff. Dax McCarty (back) and Pablo Ricchetti (right foot) took part in the recovery session to get some light ball work in. When they finished there, Dax did some individual work with Marco Ferruzzi while Pablo jogged around the training field.
