Gonzalez has also submitted to an assessment from Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health physicians, and will not be allowed to partake in any type of team activity until the assessment is completed, his he cleared by the SABH staff, and the MLS concludes its findings.
Gonzalez had just signed a new four-year contract with FC Dallas at the beginning of January, though the full terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Gonzalez has appeared in 115 matches for FC Dallas since 2013 recording 31 shutouts, 313 saves and a 1.38 goals-against average. He was also the youngest goalkeeper to start a match in franchise history in 2015 at the age of 20 against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
