Western Conference
Colorado Rapids
Dillon Serna is recovering calf problem and could miss out on the Colorado Rapids’ visit to Orlando this weekend.
Doubtful: Dillon Serna (calf)
Out: Bismark Adjei-Boateng (back, July return); Axel Sjoberg (hamstring surgery, May return)
FC Dallas
FC Dallas keeper Chris Seitz could miss yet another game as he continues to nurse the hamstring injury he picked up in training.
Doubtful: Chris Seitz (hamstring)
Out: Mauro Diaz (Achilles tendon tear)
Houston Dynamo
Agus and Ricardo Clark have been listed as doubts for Houston Dynamo’s away game at Toronto FC.
Doubtful: Agustin Garcia Iniguez (left hamstring); Ricardo Clark (left adductor)
Out: George Malki (torn ACL, 2018 return);
LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy’s Clement Diop has almost recovered from the hip injury he sustained during the 2-1 loss to Orlando City SC and is a questionable starter for the home game against Philadelphia.
Doubtful: Clement Diop (hip)
Out: Sebastian Lletget (foot surgery, September return); Robbie Rogers (ankle)
Minnesota United
Marc Burch, Rasmus Schuller, and Kevin Molino have all just recovered from their respective injuries, but may not be risked for Minnesota United’s clash against San Jose this weekend.
Doubtful: Marc Burch (midsection); Rasmus Schuller (hip); Kevin Molino (left thigh)
Out: Bernardo Anor (hamstring)
Portland Timbers
Diego Valeri will definitely not make it for the Portland Timbers’ away game at FC Dallas after walking off with a grade one hip injury during the recent 2-1 win against Vancouver. He is joined by goalkeeper Jake Gleeson, who misses out for the second consecutive game with a hip flexor issue.
Out: Diego Valeri (hip); Jake Gleeson (hip flexor); Ben Zemanski (adductor); Gbenga Arokoyo (Achilles tendon tear, 2018 return)
