Assists against Minnesota Acosta assisted to go with five tackles (three won) in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Minnesota. He's now set to join the U.S. on international duty for the upcoming Gold Cup.
Impact Acosta has started all by one match for Colorado this season, so his absence will be felt in the coming weeks. He was one of the few players who stayed with his club team ahead of camp, which says everything. It's possible someone like Nicolas Benezet gets more playing time in Acosta's absence, though the Rapids could go elsewhere.

Called up to USMNT Acosta was named to the USMNT roster for Saturday's friendly in Switzerland and the Nations League final four.
Impact Acosta should miss just Saturday's home game against FC Dallas while with the national team. An extremely versatile player, Acosta's absence offers a variety of potential options to take his spot on the pitch. His most recent position has been as a central-midfielder, so that leaves a healthy Younes Namli or Nicolas Mezquida as two who could start while Acosta is out.
