Keaton Parks - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to full training Parks (leg) is back in full training, according to Glenn Crooks.

Impact Parks had been considered on the verge of returning before missing matches against Columbus and Chicago, continuing a delayed timeline that now appears to be resolving, with Jonathan Shore having seen increased playing time in his absence. The midfielder's range of passing and defensive work rate make him an important piece in the middle of the park once fully back involved. Parks is expected to be reintegrated into the lineup as New York City FC continues its preparations for Leagues Cup play.
