Impact Sosa has been absent for training over much of the past week and it's started to impact his ability to play in competitive matches. Given that he'll start training just a few days before the league opener Aug. 7 against RB Leipzig, Sosa may not be ready to play a full 90 by then either. Still, he's coming off a season with one goal and nine assists, which should make him an important part of the team whenever he plays.
