Ready to play
Veselinovic (knee) is available for selection as the Whitecaps face D.C. United on Saturday, Har Journalist of Canadian Soccer Daily reports.
Analysis: Veselinovic has had his recovery timeline reduced and could be an interesting defensive option for the rest of the season if he avoids further setbacks from a tricky knee injury. However, the central man is out of form, having seen just 36 minutes of play throughout the 2026 MLS campaign. He may be included in a rotation with Mathias Laborda and Tristan Blackmon in upcoming weeks.
Spotted training on grass
Veselinovic (knee) is back on the grass and could have an outside chance of being available for Saturday's game against D.C. United, according to Whitecaps reporter Sarita Patel.
Analysis: Veselinovic was expected to return to training in September, and he's stayed on track with his projected recovery timeline. Given the nature of his injury, the match against D.C. United on Sept. 26 will come too soon for him, but he could be back in the squad on Oct. 6 to face Chicago if he doesn't suffer any setbacks.
