Eriq Zavaleta - Going straight to Gold Cup Zavaleta has made El Salvador's roster for the upcoming Gold Cup from June 24-July 16 and is set to miss at least four MLS games for the Galaxy while competing at the tournament.

Jalen Neal - Leaving for Gold Cup Neal has been called up by the USMNT for the upcoming Gold Cup from June 24-July 16, meaning he will miss at least the Galaxy's next five MLS games.
Impact Neal has asserted himself in Los Angeles' starting lineup this season after coming up through the academy, but the teenager is linking up with his national team on Tuesday and will miss 5-6 league games while competing at the tournament. Chris Mavinga or Sega Coulibaly (lower leg) would be the preferred options to replace him alongside Martin Caceres in central defense if they can stay fit.

Eriq Zavaleta - Another national team call up Zavaleta will link up with the El Salvador National Team for upcoming friendlies on June 15 and 20, which should rule him out of next week's MLS clash against Sporting KC.
Impact Zavaleta has started just one league game for the Galaxy this season, so his absence against Kansas City next week shouldn't impact the XI too much. However, he could end up missing more time if he also makes El Salvador's Gold Cup roster later this month.

Dejan Joveljic - Earns national team call Joveljic will link up with the Serbian National Team for upcoming European Championship qualifiers on June 16 and 20, likely ruling him out of LA's match against Sporting KC next w...
Impact Joveljic shouldn't be available for selection when the Galaxy takes on Kansas City on June 21 just one day after Serbia's final qualifier of this international window. With Chicharito (knee) done for the season, Preston Judd or possibly Tyler Boyd and Douglas Costa become options to start up front in Joveljic's absence.

Marky Delgado - Takes two shots in draw Delgado took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against STL City SC. He also made a block, a clearance, an interception and won one of one tackles...
Impact Deldago played well on both sides of the ball Sunday as his side pegged the Western Conference leaders back for a draw in St. Louis. He's started 15 of the Galaxy's 16 league matches this season, posting 13 shots and 26 chances created from midfield.

Dejan Joveljic - Takes two shots in draw Joveljic took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against STL City. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Joveljic has scored two goals in 15 MLS appearances (11 starts) this season, but he now has to take over as the focal point of Los Angeles' attack after Chicharito tore his ACL this week.

Jonathan Bond - Concedes goal to St. Louis Bond made five saves but conceded a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against STL City SC.
Impact Bond was beaten by an exquisite finish from Nicholas Gioacchini on Sunday, and he is still yet to keep a clean sheet since returning from a shoulder injury about a month ago. Next up on June 21 will be a clash against Sporting KC, which are eighth in the Western Conference and have scored 20 goals in 18 league matches this season.

Douglas Costa - Records assist against STL Costa created three chances and assisted a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against St. Louis City. He also took two shots, made a clearance and won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Costa returned to the XI for the first time since April after recovering from a lower leg injury, and he was a formidable threat from the right wing on Sunday. He will have to remain fit and able to shoulder a larger attacking load after Chicharito went down with a season-ending injury this week.

Daniel Aguirre - Scores goal against St. Louis Aguirre subbed into Sunday's match against STL City in the 78th minute, scoring a goal and creating a chance in the 1-1 draw.
Impact Aguirre didn't get the cleanest of contacts on Douglas Costa's 85th-minute cross on Sunday, but it was enough to bulge the net and equalize the game with his first goal of the season. Ten of his 11 league appearances in 2023 have come off the bench.

Chris Mavinga - Returns off bench Sunday Mavinga (leg) played 12 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-1 draw against St. Louis.
Impact Mavinga returned from a six-week absence Sunday due to a lower leg injury and managed a few minutes off the bench. While healthy again, he only started two of the first seven matches and figures to remain a backup on the Galaxy back line. With Martin Caceres and Jalen Neal playing well together, Mavinga will operate as the third center-back option.

Memo Rodriguez - Out with thigh injury Rodriguez will not be available for Sunday's clash against St. Louis City due to a thigh injury, according to LA's injury report.
Impact Rodriguez has started nine of the Galaxy's 15 league matches this season mostly on the left wing and he scored his first goal of the season off the bench against RSL last weekend, but he's been ruled out for Sunday's STL game with a thigh issue. Douglas Costa (lower leg), Riqui Puig, Efrain Alvarez or even Raheem Edwards are all options to fill in for him on the wing.

Chicharito - Torn ACL confirmed Chicharito will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL he suffered in his right knee in the U.S. Open Cup this week, the Galaxy announced Friday.
Impact This is a huge blow for the Galaxy who are already the current Wooden spoon leaders at the bottom of the MLS table, but also for Chicharito himself who had scored 17 and 18 goals in 2021 and 2022 but also just turned 35 years old and might not have much time left at the top level, especially after a devastating injury like this. The striker had already missed the first month of this campaign with a hamstring issue, and his season now ends with one goal and one assist in nine league appearances (seven starts). Dejan Joveljic should take over as LA's focal point in attack now, with Preston Judd and maybe also Tyler Boyd or Riqui Puig able to fill in at the position.

Douglas Costa - Scores goal in U.S. Open Cup Costa (lower leg) subbed in and played the final half hour or so of Wednesday's defeat against RSL in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals.
Impact Costa made his first appearance since April on Wednesday after recovering from a lower leg injury. He should remain available for selection in league play against St. Louis City at the weekend, but he might stay as an option off the bench rather than a starter at this point in his Galaxy career.

Chicharito - Suffers knee injury in Open Cup Chicharito had to sub out of Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal defeat against RSL in the 27th minute after suffering a non-contact knee injury.
Impact The full severity of this injury won't be known until medical evaluations are done over the coming days, but this could prove a devastating setback for the 35-year-old Chicharito, who scored 35 goals across the 2021 and 2022 campaigns as the Galaxy's focal point in attack.
