FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – All three players listed\u00a0on the Revolution’s injury report ahead of Saturday’s clash against the San Jose Earthquakes were present for training on Friday, which took place inside the Dana Farber Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n

Jermaine Jones (out – sports hernia surgery)\u00a0worked with strength and conditioning coach\u00a0Nick Downing, while\u00a0and Kevin Alston (out – right hamstring strain) and Teal Bunbury (questionable – right shoulder sprain) participated in passing and possession drills. Bunbury’s status was upgraded after he was listed as “out” for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

Bunbury has trained with the club all week, and on Wednesday, he told NESoccerToday.com<\/em> that his shoulder was feeling “good,” but that, “it\u2019s not going to be 100 percent within the next week or two, it\u2019s going to be nagging a little bit.”<\/p>\n

Here are some other notes from Friday’s training session:<\/p>\n

*Jones, Jay Heaps and Jose Goncalves all spoke to\u00a0reporters prior to Friday’s training. For Jones, it was his first chance to speak to local media since undergoing sports hernia surgery in February. <\/p>\n

*Jones on when he believes he’ll be able to return to the field: “I\u2019d say maybe a week, two weeks to go, but fitness will come back if you\u2019re back in the field, and train with the team, and that\u2019s the easiest part.\u201d<\/p>\n

*How much was Jones wiling to grit through the pain associated with his sports hernia injury? Heaps cited a situation that unfolded last October in which the Revolution play at Montreal on Oct. 11, then again on Oct. 16 at Houston. Sandwiched in between was a U.S.-Honduras friendly in Florida on Oct. 14. Jones went the full 90 during the first two, and also wanted to start the Revs-Dynamo match. Said Heaps: “He wanted to go Saturday-Tuesday-Thursday, which is almost impossible. But he ended up playing in that (Houston) game, and having a big assist coming off the bench. But that\u2019s the mentality that he has. He\u2019s a gamer, and you\u2019d rather have that than a guy that\u2019s conservative and holding back.”<\/p>\n

*The Revolution’s USL affiliate in Rochester kicks off its regular season on Saturday, but don’t expect to see any loanees from Foxborough\u00a0to be present for the Rhinos’ opener. Heaps had a full squad to work with on Friday, with potential loan candiates Timi Mulgrew, Tyler Rudy, London Woodberry, Sean Okoli, and Trevor Spangenberg all present.<\/p>\n

*Revolution owner\/operator Jonathan Kraft and general manager Michael Burns were seen chatting with each other at the start of Friday’s training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
