Injury Update: Marcucci and Vanzeir Shine; Morgan Still Recovering

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday.

EDITORIAL - As the Curtain Rises, Will Promises made finally be Kept?

But before you go out and celebrate, please be aware that the supporters have heard this before: In 2019... In 2020... And in 2023...
