Made return
Boxall had one clearance in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Boxall makes his return to the pitch Saturday after missing the last two months with an injury. He is typically a starter at center back, however will need to regain fitness before returning to the starting XI, making two start prior to his injury for Minnesota.
Training with team
Boxall (groin) has returned to practice with the squad, according to pictures posted by the club Thursday.
Analysis: Boxall appears to be in the final stages of his recovery after being inactive since Feb. 28. The veteran defender will aim to be an option at some point in upcoming fixtures, joining the competition for center-back spots with current starters Morris Duggan, Jefferson Diaz and Nicolas Romero. Prior to the issue, Boxall tallied 14 clearances over 167 minutes of league pay in 2026.
