Timo Baumgartl - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Misses training due to illness Baumgartl missed Tuesday's training session because of illness, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

However, the center-back is expected to be in the XI if deemed healthy for Saturday's game against the New York Red Bulls. Baumgartl has a career-high 106 clearances in 26 starts for St. Louis City SC this campaign.
