Homesickness should no longer be an issue — he speaks the language, and US teammate and close friend Tim Howard will be there to cuddle the star at the onset of calamity. And finally, MLS is facing a labor dispute that could potentially postpone the start of the season in late March. The Galaxy are intent on bringing back their star for opening day, but Donovan could yet finish the Premier League season if MLS is sidelined
