Could be option Friday Urso (muscle tightness) returned to training this week and could be an option for Friday's match against LA FC, according to manager Oscar Pareja.

Misses Saturday win Urso (undisclosed) was not in the squad for Saturday's win against Montreal.
Impact Urso had started every match for Orlando up to Saturday's win, but they were fine without him in a 1-0 win. If he misses Friday's match, it could mean another start for Jhegson Mendez, who had four shots Saturday.

Takes four shots in win Mendez took four shots (one on target), made one tackle (one won and drew two fouls in the 1-0 win against Montreal on Saturday.
Impact Mendez was a very important player in the close win over Montreal on Saturday. Mendez who plays in a more defensive role on the pitch, jumped at every chance he got. Mendez was clinical on both sides of the ball and helped push the ball up the pitch to jump-start any Orlando attack. He did score the first goal in the game, before it was quickly waved off for offsides thanks to his teammates. The opponents will only get harder each match in the playoffs and Mendez will need to continue his run of form.
