For the first time at home this year Minnesota stepped out of the [somewhat] warm confines of the NSC Dome and back out on the grass training pitch. It was a bit chilly of a day that required an extra layer, but for the Loons they were happen to be outside. Though this weekend their match at BC Place will almost certainly be indoors with the roof closed and played on a much maligned turf surface.
Mauricio González joined the first team training today for the first time since he was signed by Minnesota United. Last week he underwent club and league medicals and due to that did not make the trip to Nashville with the club.
Happy first day of outdoor #MNUFC training 🥶

After missing part of training last week, James Rodríguez was in for the full session of training this morning. James has yet to make his highly anticipated debut with Minnesota United and supporters are clamouring for it.

Defender Michael Boxall was out of training once again today. Following training Cameron Knowles stated he is hoping for more clarity on Boxy's status in the next few days, but he currently is day to day.
We'll have more Loons training tidbits for you later this week!
