Alejandro Alvarado 

On bench versus Houston

Alvarado (knee) is on the bench for Wednesday's meeting with Houston Dynamo.

Analysis: Alvarado will look to make his 2026 season debut following his absence due to the injury. However, he's unlikely to get meaningful minutes for now given that he's returning from a lengthy recovery. The midfielder may eventually challenge Onni Valakari and Jeppe Tverskov in central spots.
