Many observers, including myself, scratched our heads a bit at the 54th-minute sub of Anton Nedyalkov in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16 Leg 1 match against Tauro FC last Wednesday. According to his coach, Oscar Pareja, Nedyalkov is struggling with some tendonitis in his left Achilles.

"Anton was experiencing pain in his Achilles. He asked for the sub," Pareja said when asked about the situation at training today.

"He got both," Pareja continued when asked if it was preseason workload causing the trouble. "I think he had some tendonitis first, and then after that, he got hit twice there. And in the game, early, he received another knock there so he was subbed."

Nedyalkov did participate in training today, so while he's not on any official injury list, I'll call him "day-to-day" and assume he will be a game day type decision by the FC Dallas coaching staff.
