Just as we expected, midfielder Javier Morales practiced throughout the team's light workout today — albeit with a protective sleeve on his injured calf — and was supposed to make the trip for the game at Chicago on Saturday night.

“It didn't look like he was suffering at all,” coach Jason Kreis said.

Morales was injured in the late stages of the MLS All-Star Game at Rio Tinto Stadium, and was limping noticeably at the end of the game. But trainers said the playmaker suffered only a bad bruise, and should recover well. “We'll have to speak with him again over the next 24 hours,” Kreis said, and see how it's doing.
