Linking with Sporting KC soon Thommy (not injury related) arrived in Kansas City on Tuesday after acquiring his visa, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Thommy is set to begin training with his new team this week, but he is unlikely to feature in the squad just yet until he is able to get up to speed. Once ready, he figures to become an immediate option for Sporting, likely featuring on the wing. He struggled for appearances the last two seasons with Stuttgart, but he made 34 appearances for Fortuna Dusseldorf in 2019/20, so the quality is there for him to be relevant in MLS.

Impact Thommy has been recovering from COVID-19 for months and was finally fit enough to return from the illness.

Returned to training Thommy (COVID-19) has returned to full team training ahead of Sunday's clash with Union Berlin.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Thommy tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and is questionable versus Monchengladbach on Oct. 16.

Impact Thommy has yet to crack the starting XI for the club this season, so his potential absence may not have an impact on the starters. Still, the midfielder has come off the bench on three occasions, including a 45-minute appearance his last time out. The international break could afford Thommy the chance of still playing against Gladbach if he can clear league protocols.
