Mike Grella did not practice with the team on Thursday.
Head Coach Jesse Marsch said that Grella has a knee bruise, but would be ready for Sunday's game against Montreal at Red Bull Arena.
"It's nothing that, I think, is going to bother him," Marsch said.
Marsch also noted that Daniel Royer and Gonzalo Veron could make starts on Sunday -- and are likely options off the bench if not in the Starting XI. Kemar Lawrence trained with the team again on Thursday, while Ronald Zubar may not be ready for Leg 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, according to the head coach.
New York is down 1-0 on aggregate goals heading into Leg 2 against the Montreal Impact on Sunday at 4 p.m.
