The Colombian is an undisputed starter in central defense, so his absence is a major blow for his team, which is already dealing with several injuries.

Does light work Thursday Yeimar (hamstring) has been spotted doing light work in training on Thursday, according to Niko Moreno from Pulso Sports.

Impact Yeimar is still in his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury that he suffered against Dallas at the end of last month and he was spotted doing some light work on Thursday, suggesting he is quite unlikely for Sunday's clash against Vancouver.
