Impact Acuna was back on the training pitch Thursday, as he eyes a return Thursday against Athletic. The defender has missed the club's past five matches with a thigh issue, marking his second extended absence this season due to an injury. If he is selected for their next contest against Athletic, it is still up in the air if he will earn a spot in the starting XI or on the bench. Most will lean towards the bench option, as when he returned from his injury earlier this season, he spent two matches playing off of the bench before returning to his regular spot in the starting XI.
