Giovani dos Santos, Gyasi Zardes and Ashley Cole will all be available for the LA Galaxy this weekend after overcoming injuries.

Galaxy coach Curt Onalfo confirmed the news on Thursday, welcoming back three key players for Saturday night's game at the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Dos Santos injured his hamstring on March 12 against the Portland Timbers and missed the next week's game against Real Salt Lake as well as Mexico's World Cup qualifiers.

"I feel great. Finally, I'm back with the team," dos Santos told the Galaxy's website. "I feel 100 percent. I'm ready to go on Saturday. I feel confident to start if I'm asked against Vancouver."

He added:"The Galaxy sent my reports from the beginning back to the national team PT and they were in contact with me from the start to see how I was progressing. I am ready to return with the team and for anything that comes."

Both Zardes and Cole could be in line to make their season debuts.

Zardes has been out since picking up a knee issue at U.S. national team camp in January, while Cole has been bothered by a calf injury.
