CARSON, Calif. – Nigel de Jong returned to the training field on Monday ahead of the LA Galaxy’s clash with the San Jose Earthquakes this weekend.
De Jong took part in full training as Los Angeles began their preparations for their California Clásico fixture against their Northern California rivals. The 31-year-old midfielder has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
Whether he’ll be available for the San Jose match is still up in the air, however.
“He was training out training today,” Arena told LAGalaxy.com. “We’ll see [how he feels] and how he gets through the week.”
