McKinze Gaines - Available Sunday Gaines (lower body) is back on the bench for Sunday's game versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Gaines could finally get minutes as a substitute for either Latif Blessing or Amine Bassi after missing the last eight MLS matches due to the injury. However, it remains to be seen how much of an impact Gaines can make after such an absence and with little time on the field.

Ibrahim Aliyu - Starts against LA FC Aliyu (foot) is in the starting XI in Sunday's clash against Los Angeles FC.

Impact Aliyu made a quick return after dealing with the foot issue during the week, so he should be fit enough for significant playing time in this game. His presence on the left wing is often beneficial for his team, as he has scored two goals and two assists over his last seven league appearances.

Daniel Steres - Starting Sunday Steres (lower leg) is in the starting lineup Sunday against Los Angeles FC.

Impact Steres will make his ninth start of the season after recovering from an injury that forced him to miss the midweek match versus Real Salt Lake. The experienced left-back may be trusted for his average of 1.8 tackles per game while he covers Franco Escobar's (suspension) absence.

Brad Smith - Picks up injury Smith (chest) is questionable for Sunday's match against LAFC.

Impact Smith will be a minor absence if left out, as he is typically a bench player for the squad, only starting once while going unused six times. However, they will still hope for his availability, although he is likely not to feature too much either way after dealing with an injury.

Ibrahim Aliyu - Added to injury list Aliyu (foot) is questionable for Sunday's match against LAFC.

Impact Aliyu could miss out this weekend after dealing with a foot issue, as he is now questionable for Sunday. He has only missed one start all season, so this will be a big loss if he cannot compete. That said, if he is left out, expect Latif Blessing or Brooklyn Raines to start in his place.

Jefferson Valverde - Still out Valverde (hip) is out for Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Valverde continues to miss time, as he is set to miss a fifth straight game as he deals with hip issues. Luckily for the club, he has only appeared once this season for 12 minutes off the bench, so his absence should be a minor concern until he is fit again.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Steres - Out to face Salt Lake Steres (lower leg) is out for Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Steres will have to sit out the midweek match, as he has picked up lower leg issues between now and the club's last contest. He hasn't been a regular starter as of recently, only getting one minute in the club's last game, so his absence shouldn't change the starting XI. However, he will still hope for a quick recovery and a return to play in their other match this week.

Carlos Sebastian Ferreira Vidal - Assist to crucial goal Ferreira logged one assist with his two chances created during the Dynamo's win Saturday against Charlotte FC.

Impact After being a hat-trick hero during his previous appearance, Ferreira was added back to the Dynamo's starting XI for their latest game. He made said decision look smart by logging an assist to the Dynamo's only goal Saturday. For now, Ferreira is serving as their primary striker instead of Sebastian Kowalczyk, who has been demoted to the Dynamo's bench. How long that will last is unknown, but Ferreira's recent run suggests he should be allowed at least another opportunity to maximize it.
