Jo Inge Berget could be in line for his New York City FC debut on Saturday afternoon.
The Norwegian international striker has returned to full training following his quad injury and will be hoping to play some part in City’s showdown with Orlando City SC.

Maxime Chanot has returned from suspension, meaning Head Coach Patrick Vieira has a fully-fit squad to choose from for the visit of Jason Kreis’s Lions.
Due to international callups, Ronald Matarrita, Alex Ring and Rodney Wallace will miss next weekend’s trip to New England but all three are available for this clash as NYCFC look to make it three wins from three to extend their perfect start.
Orlando arrive in the Bronx aiming for their first win of the season but they are without five players for this trip, including Dom Dwyer and Oriol Rosell, according to MLSSoccer.com.
The game will now kick-off at 3.55pm, rather than the 3.30pm previously communicated, due to the game being broadcasted nationally by Univision.
