Mathis back with the Galaxy? mlsfanblog.com
The Early Bath has an image that appears to be Clint Mathis training with the LA Galaxy. At first I thought maybe it was an old image - but Joey Franchino is also there and he has not been with the Galaxy for too long. Mathis went to Greece long before Franchino came to the Galaxy.
So what is Mathis doing there? Is Mathis going to end up back on the Galaxy roster? Would he get into the starting lineup if he did come back to the Galaxy?
After posting this I thought maybe that isn’t really Mathis. It really looks like Mathis so I looked at the Galaxy roster to see if they have a 33 on it. There is no number 33 on their roster.
