Vancouver Whitecaps' Jay DeMerit returns strong as ever in draw with San Jose Days after Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie suggested to the media that Jay DeMerit might not play at all this season, the player did just that, coming on as a first-half substitute in Saturday's scoreless draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. Not that the Scottish tactician had much choice in the matter. The club was forced to leave center backs Johnny Leveron and Andy O'Brien in Vancouver due to calf and back injuries, respectively, and that meant Brad Rusin made his first appearance in the heart of defense since suffering a severe ankle sprain against the Portland Timbers on August 3, playing alongside Carlyle Mitchell, the squad's only other fully healthy central defender. But, as has become the trend with Vancouver's center backs this season, injury struck once again. This time it was Rusin, who was forced to leave on 31 minutes due to pain in his lower leg. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/09/15/vancouver-whitecaps-jay-demerit-returns-strong-ever-draw-san-jose
