Brad Stuver - Concedes twice Wednesday Stuver conceded two goals in Wednesday's loss against Minnesota United. He made one save.

Impact Stuver didn't have a good performance but, to be fair, there's not much he could've done in either of the two goals he conceded. This performance also ended a streak of four matches allowing one or fewer goals.

Tomas Pochettino - Plays 76 minutes in loss Pochettino took two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent two crosses (one accurate), took one corner, made one tackle and added one clearance in Wednesday's loss

Impact Pochettino was active on both sides of the ball and while he's yet to score or assist this season, he continues to provide decent value due to his decent shooting numbers (two or more in six of his last seven games) and 12 chances created across nine appearances, as well as adding peripheral defensive and set-piece stats. He doesn't carry a lot of upside, but he certainly has a decent floor.

Jon Gallagher - Comes off bench Wednesday Gallagher played 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss against Minnesota United. He took one shot off target.

Impact Gallagher came off the bench after starting three games in a row but was largely ineffectual once again. He's failed to attempt more than one shot since the season opener and he also extended his streak of games without cracking the scoresheet to five.

Matt Besler - Dealing with leg contusion Besler was left on the bench for Wednesday's match against Minnesota because of a leg contusion, according to head coach Josh Wolff.

Impact Wednesday was the second absence of the season for Besler, who has been a rock for Austin in their expansion season. Julio Cascante and Jhohan Romana manned the back line against Minnesota on Wednesday in a 2-0 loss. Fortunately, the injury doesn't look serious for Besler, which is why he was on the bench.

Nick Lima - Suffers hamstring injury Lima was forced off in the ninth minute of Wednesday's match against Minnesota with what head coach Josh Wolff labeled a "significant hamstring injury."

Impact It's yet another injury for Austin and one that could keep Lima out up to a month or longer, depending on the severity. Hector Jimenez replaced him Wednesday and could be the right-back going forward unless Wolff opts to look elsewhere.

Alexander Ring - Picks up injury in training Ring was forced out of the team in Wednesday's match against Minnesota because of an injury suffered in training, according to head coach Josh Wolff. "Alex took a hit yesterday [Tu...

Impact It's unknown the severity of the issue for Ring, but since he suffered a setback in warmups, his status for Sunday's match will be doubtful at best. If forced to miss more time, Sebastian Berhalter is expected to remain in the starting XI in the central midfield role.

Brad Stuver - Keeps clean sheet in draw Stuver made nine saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against San Jose.

Impact Stuver had another huge performance for Austin, racking up nine saves for the second consecutive match and withstanding heavy pressure during the closing stages of this contest. With 20 saves and two clean sheets over his last three starts, the goalkeeper will try to keep it up during Wednesday's visit to Minnesota.

Matt Besler - Makes six clearances in draw Besler created one chance and made six clearances, one interception and one block while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against San Jose.

Impact Besler had another huge performance at the heart of the defense, leading all players in clearances and being a huge reason why his side was able to shut the opposition down. The centre back racked up 26 clearances over his last three starts and will try to keep it up during Wednesday's visit to Minnesota.

Zan Kolmanic - Sends in four crosses in draw Kolmanic created three chances, sent in four crosses (one accurate), made two tackles (one won) and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against S...

Impact Kolmanic once again had a nice offensive display and, despite not filling the stat sheet defensively, the left back at least left the pitch with his second clean sheet over the last three starts. Up next for him is Wednesday's visit to Minnesota.

Cecilio Dominguez - Takes six shots in draw Dominguez had six shots (one on target), sent in three inaccurate crosses, won two tackles and suffered five fouls during Saturday's scoreless draw against San Jose.

Impact Dominguez drove opposing defenders crazy with his combination of speed and skill and, when not fouled, the forward was very dangerous, pacing all players in shot attempts. With three goals over nine starts during his first MLS season, he'll try to find the back of the net once again during Wednesday's visit to Minnesota.
