Impact Beitashour has missed Colorado's last two games with a hamstring injury, but he's making progress with his recovery and could be fit enough to return to the squad on Saturday. His return would be a big boost for the team as fellow left-backs Alex Gersbach (hamstring) and Braian Galvan (groin) have also been missing from action recently.

Cole Bassett - Status uncertain for weekend Bassett is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury in Colorado's availability report for Saturday's clash against LAFC.
Impact Bassett has arguably been the Rapids' best player to begin the season, but he was limited in training on Thursday and is now facing a fitness test in order to be available against LAFC at the weekend. Michael Barrios could replace him on the right wing if necessary for the match.

Diego Rubio - Returns to club Rubio (not injury related) is back in Colorado and expected to be available for selection against LAFC this weekend.
Impact Rubio played the first half of Chile's international friendly victory against Paraguay on Monday as he continues building back up to full fitness after missing the beginning of the MLS campaign with a knee injury. He could make his first start of the season for Colorado in Saturday's clash against LAFC.

Darren Yapi - Back with club team Yapi (not injury related) has returned to Colorado and is expected to be available for selection against LAFC this weekend.
Impact Yapi missed last weekend's draw with Austin FC while on international duty with the U.S. u-20 National Team, but he's back in Colorado to take on the defending MLS champions on Saturday. Yapi started each of the Rapids' first four games up front this season, but he may return to the bench now that Diego Rubio is fit again.

Impact Rosenberry returned to the XI at right wing-back Saturday after missing last weekend's loss to Minnesota with a knock on his hamstring, and he played well on both sides of the ball as his side earned another point against Austin.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bryan Acosta - Creates three chances in draw Acosta took a shot and created three chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC. He also made a clearance, an interception and won two of two tackles in the match.
Impact Acosta has been solid in both of his midfield starts this season, with two shots, five chances created and a secondary assist across 180 minutes of play. He will look to become a more consistent feature in the XI as the campaign continues.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Ronan - Takes two shots in draw Ronan took two shots and made two clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Ronan has started all five of Colorado's matches in midfield to begin his rookie campaign in MLS, taking four shots (one on target) and creating five chances thus far.

Cole Bassett - Takes two shots in draw Bassett took two shots (one on target) and created two chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC. He also made a clearance and won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Bassett has been Colorado's most consistent attacking outlet this season, as he's tallied eight shots (four on target), nine chances created and one goal through five starts either in a midfield trio or on the right wing.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Lewis - Takes three shots against Austin Lewis took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC. He also made an interception and won one of two tackles in the match.
Impact Lewis performed well up front in what was his first start of the season Saturday. He could be in the mix to continue starting even once Diego Rubio and Darren Yapi return from international duty.

Austin FC vs. Colorado Rapids

Andreas Maxso - Booked in Draw Maxso had two tackles (one won), three clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 47th minute.
Impact Maxso has started all the games and played every possible minute this season and has established himself as a leader at the back. He has been one of the few good performers in this Colorado side and is unlucky to have only one clean sheet in five games. He also averages an astonishing 3.8 clearances per game and also has won more than two-thirds of his duels. He will definitely be a player to watch in the upcoming fixture versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Cabral scores late, Rapids draw with Austin 1-1
Kévin Cabral scored in the 85th minute to help the Colorado Rapids earn a 1-1 draw with Austin FCMARCH 26, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Max - Solid performance in draw Max had three shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC.
Impact Max was extremely unlucky to not score or assist versus Austin FC. He was extremely active down the left flank and caused a lot of trouble for Austin defender Nick Lima. Furthermore, he played the full 90 minutes and will be likely to continue doing the same in the future provided the intensity and energy is maintained.
MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Cabral - Scores off the bench Cabral scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Austin FC.
Impact Cabral has been gradually improving his performances this season but still has not managed to break into the first 11. He is a versatile player who can notably play on both the wings as we have witnessed so far. However, at this moment his chances of getting consistent minutes are unlikely unless one of the wing player picks up an injury.
MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
William Yarbrough - Average performance in draw Yarbrough had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Austin FC.
Impact Yarbrough has struggled to start the new season on good terms. He has only one clean sheet in five matches due to which Colorado Rapids lie at the bottom of the Western Conference of the MLS. He needs to show major improvements and should try to regain the level of performance he had reached versus Kansas City in the second game of the season.

Impact Beitashour missed last weekend's loss to Minnesota United with this hamstring injury and his status will once again be uncertain for Saturday's game. Anthony Markanich could continue as the starting left-back if none of Beitashour, Alex Gersbach (hamstring) and Braian Galvan (groin) is fit enough to make the XI once again.

Braian Galvan - Facing another fitness test Saturday Galvan (groin) remains listed as questionable in Colorado's injury report heading into Saturday's clash against Austin FC.
Impact Galvan missed last weekend's loss to Minnesota United with this groin injury and his status will once again be uncertain for Saturday's game. Anthony Markanich could continue as the starting left-back if none of Galvan, Steven Beitashour (hamstring) and Alex Gersbach (hamstring) is fit enough to make the XI once again.

Alex Gersbach - Still questionable for weekend Gersbach (hamstring) remains listed as questionable in Colorado's injury report heading into Saturday's clash against Austin FC.
Impact Gersbach missed last weekend's loss to Minnesota United with this hamstring injury and his status will once again be uncertain for Saturday's game. Anthony Markanich could continue as the starting left-back if none of Gersbach, Steven Beitashour (hamstring) and Braian Galvan (groin) is fit enough to make the XI once again.

Darren Yapi - Called up for USYNT Yapi was called up by the USMNT U-20's for a pair of international friendlies.
Impact Yapi has opened the season at the top of the depth chart while Diego Rubio recovers from injury, though Yapi has yet to put his name on the scoresheet. With both strikers sidelined Kevin Cabral could lead the attack for a Saturday trip to Austin.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Rubio - Summoned by Chile Rubio was called up for a Mar. 27 friendly with the Chile national team.
Impact Rubio will miss a Saturday trip to Austin while traveling with the team, leaving Kevin Cabral to take the starting role at the top of the attack as Darren Yapi has also been called up to national team duty. Rubio made a single appearance off the bench while recovering from a long-term injury, and is likely still not back to full fitness.
