Nelson (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's match against Orlando City, manager Greg Vanney told Alex Ruiz of The Galactic Tribune.
ANALYSIS
Nelson has been tabbed as "day-to-day" by Vanney, meaning it's uncertain whether he'll be able to play Saturday. The defender missed the 2-2 draw versus Minnesota United the previous weekend due to this same injury. He's been a regular starter when healthy, though, cracking the XI in three of the four games in which he's been available for.
