Chad Barrett will miss most of the 2017 season after the knee injury he was diagnosed with turned out to be far worse than expected. Besides that, five Real Salt Lake players are battling injuries and are hugely questionable for the upcoming clash at Minnesota United.

Doubtful: Joao Plata (hip contusion), Jordan Allen (right quad strain), David Horst (knee injury), Tony Beltran (back injury), Justen Glad (knee injury)

Out: Chad Barrett (knee injury, 2018 return)


San Jose Earthquakes

There are no new casualties for the San Jose Earthquakes ahead of their matchup against New York City FC.

Out: Quincy Amarikwa (knee surgery, summer return), Marvell Wynne (heart abnormality), Marc Pelosi (left knee injury)


Seattle Sounders

Jordan Morris and Oniel Fisher are back in training and should be able to make it to the starting lineup for Seattle Sounders’ fixture against Atlanta United.

Out: Brad Evans (calf muscle strain, April return), Aaron Kovar (groin surgery)
