Andre Blake Injury: Spotted on grass

Blake (hamstring) was training on grass Thursday but did minimal movements and is not ready to return yet, according to Philadelphia Union reporter Joe Tansey.

Blake stepped on the grass for the first time since being diagnosed with the hamstring injury, but he's in the early stages of his recovery process. A return timeline of around mid-September remains on the cards for the veteran goalkeeper, meaning Andrew Vincent Rick is expected to start between the posts for the Union as long as Blake remains out.
