On field doing ball work
Klauss (foot) is on the field doing ball work and getting his running in, according to coach Greg Vanney, per the Galaxy Podcast. "He looks very, he looks fit, lean, you know, it's really now just taking him through the steps that he needs to get to get through safely," adding that he could be back in full training in a week and a half.
Analysis: Klauss has been working his way back since undergoing foot surgery in April, and this progression to on field ball work is an encouraging sign in his recovery timeline, with a return to full training now potentially just over a week away. His eventual comeback would be a major boost to LA Galaxy's attack, given he had scored five goals in eight appearances before the injury.
Eyeing return mid-August
Klauss (foot) is back in training and expected to make a return around mid-August, per Alex Ruiz of Soccer Reports.
Analysis: Klauss returned to the grass for the first time since undergoing foot surgery in April. After three months of recovery, he's now targeting a potential comeback as early as next month, provided he avoids setbacks. His return would be a major boost to the Galaxy's attack, as he had scored five goals in eight appearances before the injury.
