Transitioning to #Bengals duty now but before I do, here are notes from #FCCincy training today and Pat Noonan's press conference regarding player availability. More to come later as well but here's the latest news. queencitypress.net/2025/07/25/wee…
Yes, Evander (aka Endaver, aka E) and Miles Robinson are available for tomorrow at Miami and in training today. #FCCincy
I’m assuming the answer is yes, but are both Miles and “Endaver” available for tomorrow?
Ender Echenique is available, per #FCCincy coach Pat Noonan but I would anticipate a ramp-up period as he gets integrated.
#FCCincy coach Pat Noonan also provided a positive update on Kevin Denkey. He got back on the field this week (off to the side, I would assume) and it's not looking any more long-term than the initial diagnosis.
#FCCincy also confirmed this morning that Obinna Nwobodo was not placed on Season Ending Injury list. It otherwise would have been done before the window opened to get roster relief, but FCC still leaving the possibility of Nwobodo returning before season’s end.
Different messaging coming out of #FCCincy than Miami this morning. Pat Noonan said they know the rules and aren’t expecting Messi and Alba to play. Also said they never considered holding Evander or Miles Robinson out and were pleased with how they represented the club.
🚨EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE🚨 @Trags AKA Banana Man answered the TOUGH questions before Ja'Marr Chase talked on Thursday
Ja’Marr Chase clowning @Trags for his banana fit is my favorite moment of training camp… … it’s only day 2. 😂😂😂😂
Javier Mascherano said he plans to count on Leo Messi tomorrow vs FC Cincinnati and added (almost unbelievably) that Messi hasn’t trained all week due to fatigue, not injury. “He presented fatigue that’s normal with the games and minutes we have played.” #InterMiamiCF #Messi
Checking in at MHTC this morning before heading out to Bengals training camp. We will speak with #FCCincy coach Pat Noonan shortly ahead of tomorrow's match at Miami.
Do your thing, #FCCincy fans. I am not partial to any one particular SG but you could say The Pride represents the overall FCC fan base in this Newsweek vote.

This is what Ja’Marr Chase is talking about. Interrupted a question to ask @Trags about his outfit. Bananas!
