LA GalaxyOn bench Wednesday
Thommy (foot) is on the bench in Wednesday's contest versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Thommy completed his recovery earlier than expected and could be an option to see reduced minutes in upcoming matches. However, he won't have an easy path into the main lineup, as the Galaxy now have elements like Joseph Paintsil, Robert Taylor and Hirving Lozano strengthening their attacking power on the wings. In any case, Thommy's comeback adds a valuable depth option to the squad.
On bench versus Atlanta
Thommy (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta.
Analysis: Thommy completed his recovery from a muscle problem that has sidelined him since mid-April, but he barely regained enough fitness to play a backup role. He notched his first goal of the campaign in his most recent outing before the injury, and he was a consistent contributor of offensive stats when on the pitch. His return will threaten Harbor Miller's and Gabriel Pec's playing time on the wings.
Set to miss Vancouver game
Thommy (thigh) remains out for the upcoming clash with Vancouver Whitecaps and is targeting a return in the subsequent trip to Atlanta, Corner of the Galaxy reports.
Analysis: Thommy will miss a fourth consecutive MLS match but could have a chance to return in the short term if he avoids any setback. The winger had previously scored one goal while averaging 2.6 shots (0.6 on goal) and 0.8 chances created per game over five league appearances (three starts) in his first campaign for the Galaxy. His extended exclusion would lead to more opportunities for Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil and Marco Reus in the front line.
