Vancouver Whitecaps host San Diego FC in the MLS West on Wednesday .

The Whitecaps have been playing against teams they know little about and then defeating them.

The Caps head coach Jesper Sorensen says he still feels like he knows these guys well.

He says Ryan Gauld’s recovery from a knee capsule issue remains slow.

The team needed time off after the Champions Cup final to recover from a stomach virus.
