Tomas Romero - In health and safety protocols Romero will likely miss Saturday's clash against the Sounders while in the league's health and safety protocols.
Ismael Tajouri-Shradi - Facing late fitness test Tajouri-Shradi (quadriceps) is listed as questionable in LAFC's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Sounders.
Impact Tajouri-Shradi has been out since April due to a quad injury, but he has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the Seattle game this weekend. Even if he's fit he will likely only be a bench option behind Carlos Vela on the right wing, for now at least.

Diego Palacios - Doesn't feature during internationals Palacios (concussion) was an unused substitute in all three of Ecuador's international friendlies during the June window.
Impact Palacios missed LAFC's MLS victory against San Jose at the end of May due to a head injury, but the fact that he was available for selection for the Ecuador National Team bodes well for his health, even if he didn't get any playing time. If he has cleared the league's concussion protocol, then he will likely return to the starting lineup at left back against the Sounders on Saturday.

Carlos Vela - Probable for weekend Vela (quadriceps) is not listed in LAFC's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Sounders.
Impact Vela sat out of his side's final MLS game before the international break with a quad injury, but he has likely recovered during the extended time off and is expected to return to the starting lineup on the right wing against Seattle on Saturday.

Giorgio Chiellini - Heading to Los Angeles Chiellini has signed an 18-month deal with Los Angeles FC of Major League Soccer after ending his tenure at Juventus.
Impact Chiellini pondered retirement at 37 years old, which kind of shows where he's at heading to MLS. He may still be one of the better defenders in the league, but it's hard to see him stringing together consistent starts having dealt with numerous minor injuries in recent years. He totaled just 32 league starts the last two seasons at Juve and while he brings experience, that can only go so far when you're not playing every match on a new team.

Jesus Murillo - Eligible to play Saturday Murillo has served his one-match ban for accumulation and will be available versus Seattle on June 18.
Impact Murillo has started all 10 of his appearances for the club this season, so fantasy players should anticipate the defender being back in the starting XI against the Sounders. In those 10 matches, Murillo registered one goal on eight shots (two on target), two assists and 32 clearances.

Francisco Ginella - Takes shot in win Ginella took a shot and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Earthquakes. he also made two clearances, four interceptions and won two of four tackles in the match...
Impact Ginella got his fourth start of the season Saturday and he had a decent game in defensive midfield against San Jose. He isn't a starter when everyone is healthy, but he should continue getting opportunities as the campaign progresses.
MAY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Maxime Crepeau - Concedes two goals against San Jose Crepeau made a save but conceded two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Earthquakes.
Impact Crepeau was beaten by a brace from Jeremy Ebobisse on Saturday, but his side pulled ahead shortly after halftime via Brian Rodriguez. After the international break he will face the Sounders, which have scored 13 goals in 11 MLS matches this season.

Cristian Arango - Scores penalty against San Jose Arango scored a goal and created a chance in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Earthquakes. He also made two clearances in the match.
Impact Arango converted from the spot Saturday to open the scoring with his third goal of the season. Brian Rodriguez and Carlos Vela (quadriceps) are expected to be back at full health by the time MLS play resumes after the June international break, so Arango will be back with a full-strength attacking line.

Impact Hollingshead returned Saturday after missing LAFC's last two MLS games with an injury, and he was pushed up into a more attacking role on the left wing due to a Diego Palacios head injury. But Hollingshead can play on either side of the pitch and his versatility will be useful while his team's backline is nursing quite a few injuries at the moment.

Impact Rodriguez made his first MLS start since April 9 after recovering from a hamstring injury, and he set up a goal from Ryan Hollingshead against San Jose before scoring the winner himself early in the second half. He's up to four goal involvements in total this season and will be looking for more after the international break.

Eddie Segura - Could return Saturday Segura (knee) will be questionable for Saturday's clash against the Earthquakes, MLS NEXT Pro writer Araceli Villanueva reports.
Impact Segura has been out since July with a torn ACL, but he is expected to be available against San Jose "if everything goes as planned" during training. The 25-year-old will want to break back into the starting lineup in central defense once he's fully fit, but the club will also be very patient with that process.

Carlos Vela - Out against San Jose LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo said Friday that Vela (quadriceps) will not be available for selection in Saturday's clash against the Earthquakes.
Impact Vela picked up a quad injury in the U.S. Open Cup defeat to the Galaxy on Wednesday, and while the knock isn't expected to be serious, Vela won't return until after the June international break. Danny Musovski and Brian Rodriguez (hamstring) would be the top options to replace him in the front three for Saturday's game.

Carlos Vela - Comes off injured in U.S. Open Cup Vela was subbed out of Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup defeat against the Galaxy in the 20th minute after suffering an apparent quad injury.
Impact The severity of Vela's injury is unclear at the moment, but there is a quick turnaround before Saturday's MLS clash against San Jose. Danny Musovski could replace him in the front three for the game if necessary, or Brian Rodriguez (hamstring) could be another option if he's fit enough.

Diego Palacios - Comes off injured in cup loss Palacios was subbed out just before halftime of Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup defeat against the Galaxy after suffering a head injury.
Impact Palacios has entered the concussion protocol, and will be questionable for Saturday's MLS clash against San Jose. Ryan Hollingshead (knee) could replace him at left back if necessary and if he's fit enough himself.

Latif Blessing - Plays in U.S. Open Cup Blessing (ankle) subbed into Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup match against LAFC just before halftime, and he took a shot in the 3-1 defeat.
