VANCOUVER, BC (NEWS1130) – Striker Kenny Miller (hamstring) had a full training session with his Whitecaps teammates today and believes there is a chance he could be ready for their next game, Vancouver’s Canadian Championship match against Montreal at BC Place next Wednesday.
“I feel good. Obviously the lads have had a few days off, a week ahead to prepare for a huge game at BC Place and that will be ample time for us to go out there and hopefully get the right result,” says Miller, who originally injured his hamstring in a training session in early April.
The 33-year-old designated player is also addressing the recent Scottish media report that suggested he was wanting to leave Vancouver and return home to play for the Glasgow Rangers, saying that he’s under contract to Vancouver and plans to honour it. Miller, who makes just over $1.1 million this season says his focus in the last six weeks has been to get fit and get back on the field and help get results.
Midfielder Daigo Kobayashi, who missed Saturday’s draw with Portland with an ankle injury trained today and seems ready for action, while midfielder Gershon Koffie, who was shaken up in the Timbers match appears to be fine.
