The San Jose Earthquakes are holding defender Marvell Wynne out of training after a heart abnormality was detected during a team physical, the team announced on Monday.

Wynne, 30, was selected by San Jose in MLS's re-entry draft after the Colorado Rapids declined his contract option at the end of the 2015 season.
