NEWS AND NOTES FROM WEDNESDAY'S TRAINING SESSION

RBR went out to training today and returns with the following report:

1) The team trained in two equally divided groups, with one group going through finishing drills while the other played small sided games. This is a typical Osorio session, as finishing drills and competitive sessions are par for the course from the Red Bulls mentor.

2)Forward Oscar Echeverry participated in the full session for the first time since injuring his knee a month ago. He looked sharp and went through the full session, but it is unlikely that he will be available for selection this week.

3) Midfielder Claudio Reyna was back in training after missing the last two matches. He has been upgraded on the injury report, and if things go well the rest of the week, should be available for selection against the Fire.

4) Gordon Kljestan, brother of Chivas USA midfielder Sasha Kljestan, trained with the team. He also played in the reserve match against the Kansas City Reserves last Sunday, coming off in the 76th minute.

5) Defender Chris Leitch also participated in the full session and seems healthy enough to be available for selection.

6) Midfielder Seth Stammler did not practice.
