The Los Angeles Galaxy is going to be starting the Major League Soccer season in rough shape.  Forward Gyasi Zardes and right back Robbie Rogers are still nursing injuries and their season starts on March 4th.  Zardes broke a bone in his foot last August and then sustained another injury during training camp in the run up to this season.  Rogers has been battling ankle injuries for the last couple of years, with the most recent one last summer.  He underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery and is still recovering from the procedure.  It looks like The Galaxy and their fans are going to be missing these two important players.
