Brian Rodriguez - Taken off injury report Rodriguez (leg) is not listed on LAFC's injury report for Friday's clash against the Sounders.

Impact Rodriguez has missed his side's last five MLS matches due to a leg injury he picked up in late June, but it seems he has recovered and could be available for selection against Seattle.

Maxime Crepeau - Earns clean sheet Crepeau made three saves and two clearances in Sunday's 2-0 win against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Crepeau earned his sixth clean sheet of the season, tying his career-best with Vancouver from the 2021 campaign. The keeper has a far more impressive team in front of him and is in a much better situation in general with LAFC. Crepeau will look to add another clean sheet against Seattle on Friday.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Palacios - Busy for win Palacios had one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Palacios was busy on both sides of the ball during Saturday's win, creating a chance while making four tackles as well. The left-back earned credit for the clean sheet and made three clearances in an action-packed performance. Palacios has been in and out of the starting XI but his recent performances have been good and should keep him in contention for Friday's clash with Seattle.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kellyn Acosta - Creates two chances Acosta had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate), and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Acosta created two chances on the way to a stat sheet-filling performance. The midfielder also added four crosses on four corners and won a tackle. Acosta hasn't been lighting the league up offensively but his contributions on both sides of the ball have been invaluable to LAFC thus far in 2022. Unfortunately he will miss Friday's big match against the Sounders with a suspension for yellow card accumulation after picking up his fifth booking of the season on Sunday. Latif Blessing or Sebastian Mendez could replace him in midfield for the game.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kwadwo Opoku - Assists in win Opoku assisted once to go with zero corners in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Opoku earned his first assist of the season during Saturday's win. The forward has been inconsistent but has found himself in the starting XI 15 times. That could change with the arrival of Gareth Bale who figures to compete with Opoku for the starting job on the wing, though so far Bale has been on the bench. Next up is a Friday clash with Seattle where Opoku will hope to keep this creative form going.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gareth Bale - Nets in second match Bale scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Bale scored his first goal for LAFC since joining from Real Madrid, coming off the bench for the final 25 minutes. In reality Bale could be the best player in MLS and put up gaudy numbers if he is driven to do so, the forward seems to be enjoying his time with LAFC and will hope to break into the starting XI. Next up is a Friday clash with Seattle.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Arango - Ridiculous form continues Arango scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Arango scored and assisted during Saturday's win, moving him to eight goal contributions in his last eight matches. The forward has been on fire, scoring for fun and adding a creative side recently, while linking up well with new signing Gareth Bale. Arango and LAFC take on Seattle next time out as they look to hold on to the top spot in the West.

Julian Gaines - Remains out Gaines (pelvis) is out for Saturday's clash with Kansas City according to the LAFC injury report.

Impact Gaines has been out all season with a pelvis injury and isn't a major part of the first team even when healthy. Gaines has yet to make an appearance for the LAFC first team in his career.

JULY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Musovski - Ruled out once more Musovski (leg) is out for Saturday's clash with Kansas City.

Impact Musovski is out once more, as he continues to recover from a leg injury he suffered against LA Galaxy. It's unclear who will move into the starting XI against Kansas City, though Kwadwo Opoku and Gareth Bale are both options.

JULY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brian Rodriguez - Facing late test Saturday Rodriguez (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's trip to Kansas City.

Impact Rodriguez is listed as questionable for Saturday's trip to Kansas City. The forward missed a Sunday clash with Nashville and has missed four matches total. If Rodriguez can't play it could be Kwadwo Opoku in the starting XI once more.

JULY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Duenas - Absent from injury report Duenas (knee) is absent from the LAFC injury report ahead of a Saturday trip to Kansas City.

Impact Duenas is absent from the injury report but has yet to make an appearance for LAFC this season. The defender simply isn't part of the first team having played just 34 minutes in the past two seasons.
