Edson Buddle’s return to the LA Galaxy appears closer to reality, with head coach Bruce Arena acknowledging that the club is interested in signing the veteran striker.
Buddle, 33, saw limited action during the Galaxy’s 11-day trek to Europe after picking up an injury, but he was involved Wednesday in LA’s first training session since returning Sunday from Dublin.

The two sides rotated their rosters at halftime, but the Galaxy soon took the lead for good. In the 54thminute, Dan Gargan launched a ball into Alan Gordon who knocked the ball down to an onrushing Ignacio Maganto. Alone with plenty of space to operate, the Galaxy’s top draft pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft rifled a shot into the back of the net to give LA the victory.
On February 16, 2015, the LA Galaxy played the first match of its 2015 European Tour against Hammarby IF, a Swedish football team, at Tele2 Arena. Before the game, I predicted a 2-1 game with the Galaxy winning.
Here was the LA Galaxy’s lineup:
Goalkeeper: Jaime Penedo
Defenders: Robbie Rogers, Omar Gonzalez, Leonardo, Todd Dunivant
Midfielders: Stefan Ishishaki, Juninho, Baggio Hussidic, Bradford Jamieson IV
