Chivas USA Goalkeeper Thornton Out up to Three Weeks

That’s the word today after the club evaluated the right quad injury Zach Thornton picked up during their starting goalkeeper’s 16 minutes of action in the MLS All-Star game last week. Just another reason to dislike the fake game.

And not a good sign for a club that was off almost three weeks and is attempting to stop a four-game losing streak Saturday against the Colorado Rapids.

With Dan Kennedy out injured that leaves Chivas USA with only the inexperienced Lance Parker on the roster, although they had been giving former Red Bull Jon Conway a trial.

At least Jorge Flores returned from U.S. Under-20 National Team duty unscathed. He scored three goals in three games on the trip to Argentina, but remember, according to Coach Preki, he’s not an attacking player.
