Ruled out against Nashville McVey (lower body) is ruled out for Friday's clash against Nashville, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact McVey will miss a second MLS game in a row due to a lower-body injury, as he has not yet recovered for Friday's clash against Nashville. This is a big blow for San Diego, since the defender is a key player in the backline and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Paddy McNair likely replacing him in central defense as he should return from injury right in time.

Impact McVey made a terrible mistake when attempting a pass to his goalkeeper, which resulted in an own goal in the eighth minute of the match. Despite that event, McVey led the away team with seven clearances and won six of his 10 ground duels throughout the victory.
