Sega Coulibaly - On bench against Portland Coulibaly (personal) is in LA's match day squad for Saturday's clash against the Timbers.

Impact Coulibaly makes the squad Saturday for the first time this season after a delayed start to his campaign while dealing with some personal issues back in France. Martin Caceres and Jalen Neal are the preferred center-back starters at the moment, but Coulibaly will hope to break back into the XI soon.

Chase Gasper - Still out against Portland Gasper (thigh) is not in Los Angeles' match day squad for Saturday's clash against the Timbers.

Impact Gasper is still yet to make a match day squad for the Galaxy this season despite being taken off the injury report after dealing with a thigh injury earlier in March. Raheem Edwards is continuing as the starting left-back and new signing Julian Aude will likely pass Gasper in the depth chart as well.

Impact Bond had to sub last weekend after picking up a shoulder injury in the first half of the eventual draw against the Whitecaps, and he will not be available to face Portland this weekend either. Jonathan Klinsmann should get the start in goal in Bond's absence.

Dejan Joveljic - Summoned by Serbia Joveljic has been called up by the Serbia national team for a pair of EURO qualification matches.

Impact Joveljic was summoned by his national team, ruling him out for a Saturday trip to Portland. It's possible the striker could return as soon as an April 1 clash with Seattle, though it's unlikely he would be fully fit for that match. The striker has started each of the opening three matches and was particularly effective against the Whitecaps last weekend with five shots (two on target) and four chances created in the 1-1 draw.

Impact Klinsmann entered the match for the injured Jonathan Bond in the 25th minute with the Galaxy down a goal. The keeper made two saves as LA came from behind for a point, as Klinsmann could find himself as the starting keeper for the Galaxy depending on the severity of Bond's injury.

Martin Caceres - Keeps clean sheet in draw Caceres made a block, three clearances and an interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Sporting KC. He also took a shot and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Caceres kept his first clean sheet of the season against Kansas City on Saturday. He's started alongside Chris Mavinga and Jalen Neal in central defense already in this campaign, though Sega Coulibaly (personal) remains his most likely partner in the first-choice lineup.

Jalen Neal - Keeps clean sheet in full debut Neal made five blocks, three clearances and an interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Sporting KC.

Impact Neal defended well in his first ever MLS start on Saturday and helped keep a clean sheet against Kansas City. The 19-year-old should still be mostly a depth option for the Galaxy behind Martin Caceres, Sega Coulibaly (personal) and Chris Mavinga at center-back.
