As expected, LA Galaxy acquired Belgian defender Jelle Van Dammefrom Standard Liege, where he had played since 2011. The 32-year-old Van Damme, who was acquired using Targeted Allocation Money, captained Standard Liege and made 205 appearances since joining the team in 2011.
“Jelle is an experienced, talented defender who will strengthen our backline,” said LA Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena in a statement. “He joins our team with a wealth of experience playing at the highest levels of competition in the world. We look forward to adding him to our roster.”
Van Damme, who made 30 appearances for the Belgium national team, had stints in the Netherlands (Ajax), Germany (Werder Bremen) and England (Southampton and Wolves) in addition to clubs in Belgium (Germinal Beerschot, Anderlecht and Standard).

NYCFC's Jack Harrison sidelined with pelvic injury
English teenager Jack Harrison, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft out of Wake Forest, is unable to take part New York City FC's preseason training with a pelvic injury. Harrison, 19, is with NYCFC at its preseason camp at Florida Gulf Coast University.
Profile: Jack Harrison's long road to No. 1 SuperDraft pick
“We were aware he had a problem," NYCFC head coach Patrick Vieiratold the club Web site, "but having monitored and assessed the injury further since he joined us, we’ve found that it will take him longer to return to full fitness than we first anticipated. At the moment we’re still assessing the injury and don’t want to put an exact time frame on it. Hopefully Jack can take part in some of our preseason, but at the same time we would never rush a player.”

Vieira added that there was no reason to Harrison, who did not play in the adidas MLS Player Combine, back into action.
“I’m really enjoying spending time with the guys, the last few weeks have been really exciting," Harrison said. I’m really grateful to have been given the opportunity to play for New York City FC and I want to thank all the NYCFC fans that have welcomed me to the club since I joined, they have been amazing to me.”
