On his way into the Rapids locker room on Thursday, striker Kevin Doyle rolled up the leg of his pants, pulled down his sock and proudly showed off the healing wound on his shin.
“It’s actually healing quite nicely,” he told reporters, showing off the layer of tape that covered his surgically repaired shin. while playing for the Republic of Ireland in an international friendly against Switzerland.
“He’s doing better,” Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni said Thursday. “He’s waking up with not as much pain, able to get through some very light cycling. He’s progressing in the fashion that we’d expect.”
Mastroeni said Doyle’s timeline for return — up to five weeks — remained unchanged.
Doyle said in a Tweet that he planned to begin jogging Friday and hoped to rejoin the Rapids for training in a week to 10 days.
