Team News

Houston
Kansas City
  • Hector Herrera has suffered a knee injury and is out indefinitely.
  • Nelson Quinones is out for the season with a knee injury.
  • Sebas Ferreira is "out for a while" with a hamstring injury.
  • Luis Caicedo is not with the team.
  • Amine Bassi is working on getting his green card.
  • Franco Escobar is questionable with a knock and is hoping to come back for this match.
  • Logan Ndenbe is out with a torn ACL he suffered last season
  • Khiry Shelton is out for 10 weeks after ankle surgery.
  • Danny Flores has been training individually and is a doubt.

Prediction

  • A grocery store list of injuries already for Houston, who just can't buy a break. Sebas Ferreira joined the injured group last match for a team that could be down five starters for this match. A late winning goal by St. Louis City doesn't ease the pain in the midweek either.
  • Sporting KC enjoyed an amazing run last season getting into the Wild Card Round and making it to the Western Conference semi-finals. The upset of rival and #1 seed St. Louis City had to be the highlight of the year. They come into this one only missing Logan Ndenbe of the starting lineup and should be fresh.
