Raheem Edwards: Soldout Contest and Target Practice

raheem edwards: The U.S. international, healthy again after missing the last three games with a hamstring issue, stayed out for some spirited target practice with teammates Armando Cooper and Raheem Edwards, according to The Chronicle Herald. While Altidore is good to go for Saturday's soldout contest against the visiting New York Red Bulls, fellow striker Sebastian Giovinco will sit out a fourth straight game. But not striker Jozy Altidore. Coach Greg Vanney says the Italian is close but not quite back from his quadricep strain. Giovinco trained with the team Friday but was on a restriction that he couldn't score, meaning that he avoided taking shots. We still have some steps that we want to make with him before we put him out there, because there's still some risk associated with him playing in a match situation, said Vanney.
