LA Galaxy begin preseason training in Indio ahead of new season
The LA Galaxy are heading to Indio for preseason training, starting a series of four games in 11 days. The team aims to prepare for the season opener on February 23 against San Diego FC. Forward Dejan Joveljic has been traded to Sporting Kansas City for $4 million, adding to the roster changes as the Galaxy manage salary cap constraints. Coach Greg Vanney noted the challenge of replacing Joveljic's scoring contributions. New players, including defender Mathias Jorgensen, have joined the camp, while midfielder Lucas Sanabria's transfer is pending. The Galaxy's preseason matches will be broadcast on KCOP/13, beginning with a game against Austin FC.
