Mexican forward Alan Pulido missed the fourth consecutive game with Sporting Kansas City, which fell 3-2 to FC Dallas on Saturday.
“He has been doing a lot of individual training, he trained with the team (on Friday), so he has been working very hard and is progressing very well. The fact that he is training with the team is a good thing,” said coach Peter Vermes before the game against Dallas.
The team has not revealed what the Mexican’s injury is, although the coach gave some details of the ailment.
“He played every minute of every game up to a point. We needed to give him a break, so we did it,” Vermes explained.
“What happened was that it had a little bit of tension. It was more of a nerve in the hamstring and it intensified. We just didn’t want to take it to the point where it became a pull or tear, which in turn would have been much longer than it has been so far. We have been a little more cautious with that. We want to make sure that when he returns he is 100 percent ready, “the coach concluded.
The team of coach Peter Vermes came from behind to tie the score in the last stretch of play, but Dallas regained the advantage and secured the victory with a goal from Ryan Hollingshead, in the 86th minute, and a previous double by Franco Jara (42 ‘, 48 ‘). For Kansas City, Johnny Russell also signed a double.
