Available to return

Mueller (lower body) "is back, he's in contention to be in the squad", manager Gregg Berhalter said Thursday.

Analysis: Mueller should make his first appearance since March 7 after spending seven league games on the sidelines, although his return is likely to be in a substitute role given his lack of form. With striker Hugo Cuypers carrying impressive momentum, Mueller has little chances of being used in that position as he did earlier this year, so he'll possibly challenge Philip Zinckernagel and Jonathan Bamba on the flanks, looking to produce some crosses and scoring chances.

Starts to train

Mueller (lower body) is back in training, according to Joe Chatz of On Tap Sports.

Analysis: Mueller is back in the saddle at the training grounds, leading to a possible return soon. This is major news for the midfielder after an injury in week four has left him out, missing five games with the injury. With only a few days until the next match, he could sit out another game, but either way, a return is on the horizon.
