Aaron Long - Substitute option Wednesday Long (leg) is on the bench for the midweek clash against St. Louis City.
Impact Long returns to the initial squad after spending one week on the sidelines. He could be a solid center-back asset if given enough time on the pitch, having produced 107 clearances, 33 interceptions and 31 tackles across 26 matches played (25 starts) this year.

Denis Bouanga - Saves day with clutch goal Bouanga scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Another game, another goal from Bouanga that saves LAFC in a closed match. The striker continues to show why he's one of the most deadly strikers in the league, and Bouanga is now up to 18 goals with eight assists on the season. He's having another stellar year in 2024 as the go-to player in LAFC's attack, which is impressive considering the team also has Kei Kamara and Olivier Giroud as goalscoring alternatives.

Olivier Giroud - Delivers assist Saturday Giroud assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over FC Cincinnati.
Impact One of the many duels won by Giroud in this match set up Denis Bouanga, who bagged the game-winning strike midway through the second half. Giroud has yet to score through six MLS appearances so far, and it remains to be seen when he'll finally open his tally following his summer move from AC Milan.

Hugo Lloris - Can't react in lone goal conceded Lloris made five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over FC Cincinnati. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 99th minute.
Impact It would be harsh to blame Lloris on the goal he conceded in this match, as Luca Orellano's long shot was deflected by Kei Kamara, and that made it impossible for Lloris to stop the effort. The Frenchman has been stellar for LAFC this season and should play a pivotal role in the upcoming playoff run.

Lewis O'Brien - Credited with assist Saturday O'Brien assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win against FC Cincinnati.
Impact O'Brien bagged the assist in the opening goal with a clever ball forward on a counter, though in reality, most of the goal needs to be credited to David Martinez, who finished the sequence with a perfect shot past Roman Celentano. This was O'Brien's first goal contribution since returning to the MLS, and he should remain a regular starter for the club.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Sergi Palencia - Earns yellow-card ban Palencia will miss Wednesday's game against St.Louis City SC due to a yellow card accumulation.
Impact Palencia will miss the match against St. Louis, but since he's been a regular at the back for LAFC, he should return to the XI immediately for the Saturday contest against Sporting Kansas City. Palencia has started in 23 of his 27 regular-season appearances in 2024, tallying 75 tackles, 38 clearances and 28 interceptions while also dishing out two assists.

Aaron Long - Added to injury report Long (leg) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Cincinnati.
Impact Long was a late addition to the injury report with a leg injury and a questionable tag. The defender only played 24 minutes off the bench last time out, with Maxime Chanot getting the start instead. If Long is ruled out, it would be Chanot who would likely get a full 90.
