Comeback for injured Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit may not be in cards at all this season
In the midst of a one-win-in-eight spell, the Vancouver Whitecaps could probably use the kick to the backside the return of captain Jay DeMerit would surely provide.
But it looks as if the 33-year-old's comeback to the first XI could still be a ways off.
The Green Bay, Wisc., native made the bench over the weekend in his first return to a match-day squad since rupturing his Achilles tendon on opening day. But to hear Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie tell it this week, DeMerit was there more out of a shortage of options and to provide a presence rather than because he stood a chance of returning to the field.
