LA Galaxy signed one of the bombs of the year in Major League Soccer with the signing of the Spanish midfielder Riqui Puig. The talented 22-year-old footballer left the ranks of FC Barcelona to undertake a new challenge in the MLS and be able to be in shape in the middle of the World Cup year.
Puig will join one of the teams with the most history and tradition in MLS. In fact, the Los Angeles Galaxy is the winningest team in terms of league titles with a total of five championships. This season, the Spaniard will share a dressing room with figures such as Douglas Costa and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández.
When will Riqui Puig debut with LA Galaxy?
Although at the moment there is no official date for Riqui Puig’s debut with the LA Galaxy, coach Greg Vanney is expected to give him a few days to adapt and practice with his teammates so that he can be in top condition as soon as possible before his departure. debut.
LA Galaxy will play this Saturday as a visitor against Sporting Kansas City, but the possibility of even seeing Riqui Puig as a candidate must be ruled out immediately. The two most feasible scenarios to see him debut with the Los Angeles team would be on Saturday, August 13 against the Vancouver Whitecaps or on Friday, August 19 against the Seattle Sounders. In both commitments, the LA Galaxy will play at home, making it the ideal setting for Riqui’s debut and presentation.
