Italian defensive star Giorgino Chiellini will make his debut for Los Angeles Football Club against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday, but it looks like Southern California will have to wait a bit longer to see Gareth Bale in action.
Bale’s new manager Steve Cherundolo told reporters immigration paperwork was still ongoing for the Welsh former Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur star. And Cherundolo couldn’t commit to whether Bale could be registered in time to join his new club.
That shouldn’t impact LAFC too much, as the Black and Gold are solid leaders in the chase for the Supporters’ Shield. That’s even after a 1-0 loss at the Vancouver Whitecaps, in which Cherundolo heavily rotated his squad.
The Galaxy enter the weekend fourth in the Western Conference after a 4-0 home win over Montreal on Monday. They might'also have the historical edge in this series, including two wins in 2022, with one each in league and U.S. Open Cup play.
