Vancouver Whitecaps FC News Release
The Whitecaps are back at Swangard on Saturday, July 25th at 7 p.m. to take on Puerto Rico Islanders. The 'Caps are looking for a win to improve their position in the league standings when they face the second place Islanders this weekend. Teitur Thordarson is looking to his squad to find a balance between having a solid defence while creating chances up front. Thordarson's side will be without center back Wesley Charles after his release from the club on Wednesday, and Justin Moose who is still nursing a foot injury. On the upside, Ansu Toure has recovered well enough from knee surgery to be considered for the squad this weekend. Read more on the match preview.
