BDS Notes:
Seeing a nearly clean bill of health with three games to go is something every club strives for in this league.
The one interesting one to keep an eye on here is Maarten Paes. The veteran keeper is off the injury list and is going to be departing after this weekend's game for international duty with Indonesia. He hasn't started a game in nearly two months, while his backups Michael Collodi and Jacob Jackson, have performed well. There are also reports that his Indonesian manager is expecting him to start this weekend.
Seeing that Jacob Jackson is on the 'questionable' side of things, makes me believe we'll see Paes tomorrow afternoon.
Elsewhere, we do see Sebastian Lletget rejoin the injury report. The veteran midfielder has been dealing with a hamstring-type injury for a while now this season. With guys like Chris Cappis, Patrickson Delgado and Pedrinho stepping up in recent weeks, Lletget may have struggled to get minutes in this weekend's game anyways.
For the Galaxy, their injury list is pretty big with names like Puig, Reus and even Pec (questionable). They're also coming off a pretty tough loss in Wednesday's Campeones Cup to Tuluca, so I would anticipate a rotated squad.
