Daniel Wilson - Logs eight clearances in loss Wilson made eight clearances during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Orlando.
Impact Wilson was very solid at the heart of the defense despite being on the losing side as he once again led all players in clearances with eight and totaling 20 over his last three starts, being on verge of reaching the top 10 among all MLS players for this statistical category. With his team having lost six of the last seven matches, the center-back will try to help them bouncing back during Wednesday's clash against Vancouver.
JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marko Ilic - Beaten twice against Orlando Ilic made four saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-0 loss against Orlando.
Impact Ilic wasn't at fault at either goal as the first one had the ball being deflected by a defender right after the shot and the second one came off a very well-placed shot from just outside the box. Also, the goalkeeper made some great interventions to prevent an even more painful loss for his side. Over his three appearances since taking over as a starter and replacing William Yarbrough, Ilic had seven saves, five goals allowed and one clean sheet. Up next for him is Wednesday's home clash against Vancouver.
JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lalas Abubakar - Gets sent off versus Orlando Abubakar was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 75th minute of Saturday's 2-0 loss against Orlando.
Impact Abubakar was booked first still during the opening minutes due to a hard foul and then, in the 75th, picked up his second yellow card after recklessly grabbing his opponent in the midfield to interrupt a play that was far from being dangerous. As a result, the defender will miss Wednesday's clash against Vancouver. Luckily for his team, Moise Bombito will be returning to the team.
JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Braian Galvan - Gets sent off versus Orlando Galvan received a straight red card in the 39th minute of Saturday's 2-0 loss against Orlando.
Impact Galvan made just his second start of the season and wasn't having much of an impact in the first half. Then, just before halftime, the winger got sent off due to a reckless challenge where he raised his foot too high and ended up hitting the opponent in the abdomen. With Diego Rubio (upper body) still out, Michael Barrios, Darren Yapi and Calvin Harris are the most likely candidates to replace Galvan during Wednesday's clash against Vancouver.
JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Moise Bombito - Available to return from suspension Bombito will be eligible to feature in next week's clash against the Whitecaps after serving a red card suspension.
Impact Bombito missed Saturday's loss to Orlando City after getting sent off in the previous match against San Jose. That San Jose game and the prior one vs. Columbus were his first two MLS starts ever.

Aboubacar Keita - Returns to team training Keita (knee) was back in full training with Colorado on Friday, Brendan Ploen of the Denver Post reports.
Impact Keita has been dealing with a knee injury all season and has been limited to just two reserve team appearances in MLS NEXT Pro. He's been taken off the Rapids' injury report ahead of Saturday's clash against Orlando City.

Diego Rubio - Back in team training Rubio (upper body) was a full participant in training with Colorado on Thursday, according to Brendan Ploen of The Denver Post, and he's been upgraded to questionable in the injury...
Impact Rubio has been out since mid-may as an upper body injury has sidelined him for the Rapids' last five league games, but he's trending towards possibly being able to return and face Orlando on Saturday.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Darren Yapi - Back in Colorado Yapi (not injury related) will be available for selection in this weekend's clash against Orlando City after returning from the u-20 World Cup, the Rapids announced Thursday.
Impact Yapi has missed the last six league games while competing with the U.S. Youth National Team in Argentina, but his country was knocked out of the tournament at the quarterfinal stage and he is now ready to return to MLS action on Saturday.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Ronan - Misses PK versus San Jose Ronan had one shot on goal, created four chances and sent in six crosses (two accurate), but missed a penalty during Sunday's scoreless draw against San Jose.
Impact Ronan was very productive from both open play and set pieces, creating a lot for teammates but ended up as the villain for Colorado. In the 70th minute, the midfielder had the chance to break the deadlock from the penalty spot but had his shot saved by the goalkeeper. With one goal and three assists over 17 league starts this season, Ronan will try to bounce back during Saturday's visit to Orlando.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Cabral - Quiet performance in return Cabral had zero shots, suffered two fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's scoreless draw against San jose.
Impact Cabral was back in the starting XI after serving a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation. However, the return didn't went as well as expected as he was completely held in check by opposing defenders, especially during the second half, when his side played with one man down for most of the time. With just two goals over 14 league appearances this season and a five-game scoreless streak in progress, the forward could have his spot in the lineup in jeopardy if he keeps performing this way.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Bassett - Takes four shots versus San Jose Bassett had four shots (one on target) and created one chance during Sunday's scoreless draw against San Jose.
Impact Bassett made his first start since recovering from a hamstring injury that made him miss several matches. And he had a great performance, pacing his side in shots attempted and almost opening the scoring for the Rapids in the 15th minute with his header being brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper. The attacker was cheered by fans when subbed off after roughly an hour and will probably get even more playing time during Saturday's visit to Orlando.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marko Ilic - Keeps clean sheet against San Jose Ilic made zero saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's scoreless draw against San Jose.
Impact Ilic had luck on his side here, being saved by the post twice and also benefiting by the opposition's lack of accuracy in front of the net. With Abraham Rodriguez (ankle) still sidelined, the goalkeeper will probably make his third consecutive start on Saturday when his side visits Orlando.
