On Thursday night after FC Dallas’ second practice of the day, head coach Schellas Hyndman talked about two trialists who will be joining the club later in the week. One of those, Colombian defender/midfielder Kleyner Mena, was ready for training on Friday morning, while the other, Argentine forward Nicolas Gianni won’t join the club until later this weekend.

Here’s the scoop on the two players:

Nicolas Andres Gianni

Age: 29

Home Country: Argentina

Position: Forward

Last Club: Estudiantes de Merida (Venuezela)

Hyndman’s Take: “Nicolas, has a very, very rich soccer background. He’s played many, many years with a lot of different teams. Plays anywhere up front. He’s 29-years-old. Played with Argentina Juniors. In 2008, he played with Universidad Catolica out of Chile. Then he played with Argentina Juniors. Last year he played with Estudiantes in Venezuela. I think he’s a player that we’re excited to have him in here to look at him.”

Kleyner Bejarano Mena

Age: 22

Home Country: Colombia

Position: Midfielder/Defender

Last Club: Cortulua (Colombian Second Division)

Hyndman’s Take: “He just flew in and he was feeling weak, so we pulled him out (of Friday’s morning practice). We didn’t see much of him. Mena’s a player that is coming out of Colombia. He’s playing on a second-division team not on a first-division team. There’s some reasons for that (not playing in the top division) but he’s a right-sided midfielder. He’s extremely quick, very athletic and also right fullback. He has the combination of going to both sides of the field. I think we need to find a good right-sided midfielder on our team. (Fabian) Castillo can do it (start on the right side) but Castillo could be our striker.”
