Adrian Heath not suspended
Alicia Rose DelGallo of the Orlando Sentinel reports that head coach Adrian Heath will be on the sideline this Saturday. There was some speculation that Heath would be suspended for venturing onto the field last Sunday, but he will be at the helm against his former club.
I'm told Adrian Heath won't be suspended for Minnesota's match against Orlando City. He received warning for stepping onto pitch, per club.
