Barroso (lower body) was in the gym Tuesday while he continued to make progress in his recovery from injury, Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports reports.
Analysis: Barroso has been sidelined April 12 and could now be targeting a return after the World Cup break. The wide player operated as a right-back at the beginning of the season, but that spot is likely to be filled by Jonathan Dean for at least one more game. Prior to the issue, Barroso racked up five shots, 11 crosses, nine clearances and seven tackles in seven MLS starts.
Remains sidelined
Barroso (lower body) has yet to make a complete recovery and is ruled out for the time being, per coach Gregg Berhalter "Leo is still out as well".
Analysis: Barroso is struggling to overcome a problem which has kept him out of action since mid-April, leaving his team without its starting right-back of the early stages of the campaign. The young defender will be unlikely to see action until he increases his workload in training, so Jonathan Dean should feature in his place in the next few matches. Prior to the injury, Barroso had served as an occasional defensive contributor, racking up nine clearances, seven tackles and three clean sheets over seven MLS games.
