The Dynamo are breathing easier this week because forward Alberth Elis' hamstring injury "is not too bad,' coach Wilmer Cabrera said Monday afternoon.
Elis will travel with the team this week for games in Philadelphia (Wednesday) and in Atlanta (Saturday).
Elis, who is second on the team with five goals, subbed out of Friday's game in the 31st minute with a tight hamstring. Cabrera said on Friday that as soon as he saw Elis reach for that hamstring he ordered Erick Torres to warm up.
Several Dynamo players have missed extended time with hamstring injuries this season.
