Midfielder Vincent Nogueira returned to training yesterday after sitting out Saturday's win at New England and the last Open Cup match with a groin injury. Jim Curtin said Nogueira reported no pain or issues, and the manager deeming it a step in the right direction. "Vincent's obviously one of the best midfielders in this league," he said, "so anytime you can add him into a group that's confident, it's a good thing."
