Joshua Gatt was listed as a sub for the Loons’ preseason match against Portland. However, the winger was not on the bench as he has not officially joined the team. When Gatt was listed as a midfielder along with Tanner Thompson and Raul Gonzalez before the match, expectations were raised, but the Gatt’s inclusion proved to be a mistake. The former Molde FK player is still expected to join Minnesota in the near future.
