Four Major League Soccer teams took the first small step toward returning to play Wednesday by allowing players to use team training fields for individual workouts.
Sporting Kansas City, Atlanta United FC, Orlando City and Inter Miami CF let players in for vigorously controlled voluntary workouts on the first day they were permitted by the league.
Nashville SC, Real Salt Lake, LAFC and Houston Dynamo are among the league’s 26 teams that plan to start Thursday, with more lined up next week.
In Orlando, the entire roster showed up.
“Of course, it’s the first step, but we have a long way,” said Orlando City midfielder Mauricio Pereyra. “This is the beginning. We are training alone, and then we will have small groups and then we hope soon we can train with the full group.”
