LAFC Re-signs Club Legend Ahead of 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs Carlos Vela returns to LAFC with the MLS Cup Playoffs on the horizon.
Carlos Vela - Officially joins LAFC Vela has officially joined LAFC on a contract until the end of the 2024 MLS season, the club announced Monday. The deal also includes a club option for 2025.
Impact Vela returns to LAFC as one of the most decorated players in MLS history and the club's all-time leader in games played (152), minutes (11,194), goals (78) and assists (59). He's not expected to become a starter right away, but he should figure decent minutes off the bench if needed.

Timothy Tillmann - Provides assist in defeat Tillman assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 4-2 loss versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Tillman notched his third assist of the season as he passed the ball to Denis Bouanga, who then went on a solo run before scoring the second goal of the match. The midfielder failed to contribute much after that, registering no crosses or shots.

Lewis O'Brien - Sent off in El Trafico O'Brien was sent off in the derby loss against the Galaxy on Saturday and will be suspended to face Austin on Wednesday.
Impact O'Brien has started in his three appearances with LAFC, but the red card means he'll have to sit out the midweek match against Austin, creating a void in the middle of the field. The earliest he'll be eligible to return will be against Dallas on Sep. 21.

Denis Bouanga - Scores in loss Bouanga scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Bouanga notched his 17th goal of the season in the 15th minute as he scored from short-range off a very difficult angle. His goal was remarkable as he was seemingly running out of space, and instead of looking for a cross he shot between the goalkeeper's legs and into the back of the net.

Hugo Lloris - Concedes four in defeat Lloris had six saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Lloris had a tough time in goal as he allowed four goals while making six saves. All four goals occurred in the second half as LAFC lost their early two goal lead in the El Trafico matchup. Next, he'll have an easier matchup against Austin, the team with the least amount of goals in the Western Conference.

Maxime Chanot - Wins two tackles Chanot recorded two tackles (two won) and one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss against Los Angeles Galaxy.

Mateusz Bogusz - Starting against Galaxy Bogusz (not injury related) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Bogusz has regained his place in the lineup following his call-up for Poland in the last international break. He'll feature as part of a front three alongside Denis Bouanga and Olivier Giroud. With multiple shots in each of his last three outings and some corner kicks in every game, Bogusz could hold solid attacking potential going forward.

Denis Bouanga - Starts Saturday Bouanga (not injury related) is in the starting XI for Saturday's derby against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Bouanga is one of his side's main attacking threats in this match after spending the last few days with the Gabon national team. He should be able to produce from the left flank, having scored three goals and one assist over his last six MLS appearances in that position.
