Red Bulls striker Juan Pablo Angel saw a nerve specialist on Thursday and the prognosis was a very good one for Angel and for the Red Bulls. An analysis of the Colombian forward's lower back and hamstring revealed that his injury is, in fact, a nerve-related injury that can be treated with a cortisone shot, and not the left hamstring strain he was first diagnosed with.

good news / bad news

so, the good news is that angel isn't really hurt. i mean, he has nerve damage in his lower back, but it's apparently not as bad as a strained hamstring.

i don't know about you, but it still sounds pretty bad to me. we'll see.

however, what it does mean is that he's still not going to play on sunday against san jose.
