Jordan Morris looks to be full in training today, which is surprising. Albert Rusnák is also a full participant as it was expected this week.
While Obed Vargas, Reed Baker-Whiting and Snyder Brunell all back NT play.

Just as a general reminder, MLS Commissioner Don Garber has the authority to suspend Luis Suarez. If he escapes MLS punishment, it’s because MLS chose that path.

One absence that caught my eye so far is Paul Rothrock, as I reported yesterday, he fell and seemed to have injured his wrist. I also don't see Yeimar but perhaps he is doing some work inside.
We'll ask Brian Schmetzer after training.
