Chris Mueller News: Fit for friendly

Mueller (chest) started and played 45 minutes in a preseason friendly.

Mueller has returned to play after he ended last season injured, with the midfielder an option for a friendly to start the preseason. This is massive news for the midfielder after he was sidelined the entire 2025 campaign, unable to return from a chest issue. He had previously held a rotational role with 15 starts in 27 appearances during the 2024 season, likely heading for a similar role.
