Erik Sviatchenko

Analysis: Sviatchenko was questionable following a two-week absence, but he's ready to record plenty of minutes in the midweek matchup. After that, he'll remain in a rotation with Agustin Resch and Antonio Carlos. The Dane has scored two goals this year across all competitions and has racked up more than two clearances in six of his seven league outings, though his potential has been offset by his constant fouls.

Questionable with lower body issue

Sviatchenko could miss the next MLS meeting with Colorado Rapids due to a lower body injury, as reported by the league.

Analysis: Sviatchenko's status is uncertain, and his potential absence may be covered by a center-back pairing made up of Antonio Carlos and Agustin Resch. Sviatchenko's playing time has been erratic lately, and his value will depend on his ability to regain a starting spot if he recovers quickly. He has served as a defensive contributor, tallying at least three clearances in each of his six starts this season.
