Yuta Fujihara - To miss San Jose game with injury Djeffal will not be available for Saturday's clash against the Earthquakes due to an ankle injury, according to Austin's availability report for the match.
Julio Cascante - Taken off injury report Cascante (calf) returned to training with Austin FC this week and is no longer listed in the injury report heading into Saturday's clash against San Jose.
Impact Cascante has missed Austin's last seven MLS matches since suffering a calf injury in the season opener against St. Louis back in February, but he's progressing well with his recovery and could be available to return to action versus the Earthquakes this weekend. His potential return to central defense would be a huge boost for this struggling team at the moment, and it would allow Alexander Ring to push back up to his natural midfield position.

Impact Lima seems to be the preferred option at right-back at the moment now that Jon Gallagher has slid over to the left side in order to replace the injured Zan Kolmanic (knee).

Ethan Finlay - Takes shot in start Finlay took a shot on target and made a clearance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Galaxy. He also won two of two tackles in the match.
Impact Finlay made his third start of the season on Saturday, this time lining up on the right wing. He should become a fixture in the XI for the next month while Diego Fagundez (groin) recovers from injury.
APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Driussi - Takes two shots in loss Driussi made three clearances, an interceptions and took two shots in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Galaxy.
Impact Driussi extended his seven-game scoreless drought on Saturday and now Austin as a team hasn't scored in three matches since the start of April either. Driussi lined up alongside Maximiliano Urruti in a front-two in the absence of the injured Diego Fagundez (groin) against LA, but the move did not improve his or the team's performance.
APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Maximiliano Urruti - Takes two shots against Los Angeles Urruti took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Galaxy.
Impact Urruti has started four of Austin's last five games up front ahead of Gyasi Zardes, but the club has only scored one team goal and is winless in that span.
APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Stuver - Concedes two goals to Los Angeles Stuver made six saves but conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against the Galaxy.
Impact Stuver was beaten by strikes from Chicharito and Riqui Puig on Saturday as his side's winless run extends to five consecutive games since mid-March. Next up is a clash with the fifth-placed Earthquakes, which have scored 11 goals in nine matches this season.

Diego Fagundez - Out with groin injury Fagundez is expected to miss about one month with a Grade 2 groin injury, Austin manager Josh Wolff told The Striker's Phil West on Thursday.
Impact Fagundez picked up this groin injury in the second half of last weekend's scoreless draw with the Whitecaps, and he's now set to miss at least the next five matches against LA, San Jose, Portland, Dallas and Seattle while he recovers. This is a pretty big blow for an already struggling Austin team as Fagundez recorded six goals and 13 assists last season -- the latter stat being the second-highest mark in the league. Ethan Finlay is expected to take over as the starter on the left wing in Fagundez's absence, and other star attackers like Emiliano Rigoni and Sebastian Driussi will have to shoulder more of offensive responsibility as well.

Aleksandar Radovanovic - Not available to face LA Radovanovic (not injury related) is not yet ready to be involved in Saturday's clash against the Galaxy, Austin manager Josh Wolff told Eric Goodman of the Austin Chronicle on Thur...
Impact Radovanovic is yet to make his MLS debut since joining Austin from Belgium in March, as he still has to get his visa sorted out in order to link up with his new team. Leo Vaisanen and Alexander Ring remain the starting center-back pairing for the time being until Radovanovic is available.

Ethan Finlay - Takes two shots in draw Finlay subbed into Saturday's match against the Whitecaps in the 55th minute, taking two shots and making a clearance in the match.
Impact Finlay has featured in all seven of Austin's MLS matches this season with two starts on the left wing, and he replaced an injured Diego Fagundez (groin) early in the second half against Vancouver on Saturday.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gyasi Zardes - Takes two shots off bench Zardes subbed into Saturday's match against the Whitecaps in the 73rd minute, taking two shots (one on target) in the 0-0 draw.
Impact Zardes has come off the bench in three of Austin's last four games, but his replacement striker Maximiliano Urruti isn't faring much better himself as Austin has scored just one goal as a team in the last month in MLS.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Leo Vaisanen - Keeps clean sheet in draw Vaisanen made five clearances and created two chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Whitecaps.
Impact Vaisanen kept his second clean sheet of the season on Saturday and he's created four chances from six starts in central defense, but Austin is winless in its last four games in MLS.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Emiliano Rigoni - Creates two chances vs. Vancouver Rigoni took two shots (one on target) and created two chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Whitecaps.
Impact Rigoni recorded his fourth game this season with multiple shots and multiple chances created from the right wing, but he is still looking for his first goal or assist of the campaign as Austin continues it's struggles in 2023.
APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Stuver - Four saves in nil nil draw Stuver made four saves in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Vancouver.
Impact Stuver turned up with some big stops to keep Austin in the match. It was a lackluster attacking performance for Austin at home, but Stuver did his job between the pipes to earn his second clean sheet of the season. He'll have another tough test on the road against the LA Galaxy on Saturday.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sebastian Driussi - Five shots in scoreless draw Driussi took five shots, sent in three crosses, and created one chance in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Vancouver. He also picked up a yellow card in the 40th minute.
Impact Driussi was dangerous throughout the match but could not convert any of his five shots. He's only scored one goal through seven games in 2023 after scoring an eye-popping 25 goals in 2022. Look for the Argentine to continue to see goal scoring opportunities against the LA Galaxy on Saturday.
APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Fagundez - Quiet again in scoreless draw Fagundez took two shots (one on goal), created one chance and took three corners over 55 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Vancouver.
Impact Fagundez assisted in the season opener but hasn't contributed to a goal in six appearances since then. He's off to a quiet start in 2023 after notching 15 assists last season. Fagundez will try to get back on track on Saturday against the LA Galaxy.
