Mikael Marques - Not ready for Houston match Marques (ankle) is still about a week away from returning to full fitness, according to Minnesota United team reporter Jacob Schneider on Tuesday.
Impact Marques has already missed about a month with this ankle injury, and he'll have to remain sidelined for a little bit longer as he continues his recovery. Even when fit, he's behind Michael Boxall, Miguel Tapias, Brent Kallman and Bakaye Dibassy (quadriceps) in the center-back depth chart.

Bakaye Dibassy - Still a few weeks from return Dibassy (quadriceps) remains "a few weeks" away from being able to play for Minnesota United, according to team reporter Jacob Schneider on Tuesday.
Impact Minnesota manager Adrian Heath told Schneider that at one point, the club was unsure whether Dibassy would be able to feature at all this season after tearing a tendon in his thigh last August, so they are very pleased with the way his recovery has progressed thus far.

Emanuel Reynoso - No longer suspended Reynoso "has been cleared to play and can return to full team participation," Minnesota United announced Tuesday.
Impact Reynoso returned to the country earlier in May after missing the first few months of the season by remaining in Argentina rather than reporting to Minnesota, receiving a suspension without pay from MLS that he has just now been cleared from on Tuesday. He's still expected to need some time to get back up to match fitness as he'll begin training next week, but once he is able to get back up to speed he'll likely return to his status as the team's most important attacking player.

Luis Amarilla - Attempts four shots Amarilla registered four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Sporting Kansas City.
Impact Amarilla was able to not sit out any games because of his previous groin injury. Still without a goal since April 2, he will try to score when Minnesota United hosts Houston on Wednesday.

Dayne St. Clair - Concedes three goals St. Clair made one save and conceded three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Sporting Kansas City.
Impact St. Clair conceded goals scored by Dany Rosero, Daniel Salloi and Gadi Kinda. The goalkeeper will try to redeem himself during Minnesota United's next game, currently scheduled Wednesday versus Houston.

Luis Amarilla - Not on injury report Amarilla (groin) was able to train with Minnesota United on Thursday, according to Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press, and he's not listed in the injury report to take on Sporting KC...
Impact Amarilla was not involved in the U.S. Open Cup win over Philadelphia on Tuesday after suffering an injury against the Whitecaps last weekend, but it seems that the issue wasn't too serious and he could be in contention to play against Kansas City back in the league on Saturday. Mender Garcia could replace him in the XI if Amarilla isn't quite fit enough to start up front.

Mender Garcia - Takes two shots off bench Garcia subbed into Saturday's match against the Whitecaps in the 66th minute, taking two shots (one on target) and creating a chance in the 3-2 defeat.
Impact Garcia replaced an injured Luis Amarilla (groin) on Saturday and was active in his cameo role. Garcia could start up front against Sporting KC next weekend if Amarilla isn't fit enough to make the XI.

D.J. Taylor - Creates two chances vs. Vancouver Taylor made five clearances and created two chances in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against the Whitecaps.
Impact Taylor had a solid game on both sides of the ball on Saturday, but it wasn't enough to earn a result. The right-back has started each of his side's last eight MLS games, taking five shots and creating seven chances in that span.

Kervin Arriaga - Subs on in cup match Arriaga subbed on and played 43 minutes during Tuesday's 3-3 draw to the Union during the U.S Open Cup. Minnesota advanced to the next round on penalties.
Impact Arriaga has been absent for the last two matches with a thigh injury, but made his return during the U.S Open Cup midweek. He will likely return to the defensive midfielder to play alongside Will Trapp after recording a goal with five tackles, five interceptions and three chances created in his previous four games.

Dayne St. Clair - Three saves in loss St. Clair registered three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact St. Clair faced six shots and stopped half of them, a poor showing that left him with the loss Sunday. St. Clair has kept three clean sheets in nine starts conceding 10 goals and making 16 saves in that time. St. Clair has shown major promise, but the shaky defense in front of him makes him hard to trust with limited clean sheet upside.

Robin Lod - Opens account Lod assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Lod finally got off the mark with his first 2023 goal contribution in his eighth start. The midfielder has been a major force in the attack in seasons past but got off to a very slow start to 2023. He will hope this assist proves to be a launch pad for a bounce back, with his good volume giving him every chance to find more end product going forward.

Michael Boxall - Scores in loss Boxall scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 loss against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Boxall got on the scoresheet from central defense during Sunday's narrow loss. The center-back isn't much of a goal-scoring threat but the most of his only shot on goal during Sunday's clash. Boxall has only scored five MLS goals during his seven season with Minnesota and isn't worth chasing for any sort of offensive hot streak.

Sang-bin Jeong - First MLS goal Sang-Bin Jeong scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Impact Jeong scored his first MLS goal during Sunday's loss. The attacking midfielder has been quiet since slotting into the starting XI but he finally got on the scoresheet for his first career MLS goal. With Emanuel Reynoso working on earning a spot back into the team it's possible that Jeong could face competition for the starting role in attacking midfield.

Luis Amarilla - Comes off injured against Vancouver Amarilla was subbed out of Saturday's defeat against the Whitecaps in the 29th minute after suffering a groin injury.
Impact Amarilla was not training with Minnesota United on Monday following his injury at the weekend, according to team reporter Jeremy Rushing. He is unlikely to play in Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup match while a decision will have to be made about his availability for the MLS clash against Sporting KC next weekend. Mender Garcia could replace him up front if necessary.

Emanuel Reynoso - Returns to team Reynoso (not injury related) returned to Minnesota and is working towards reintegration with the club, Minnesota announced Saturday.
Impact Reynoso remains indefinitely suspended but a return to Minnesota is a good sign that a resolution between the club and the superstar attacking midfielder could be on the horizon. Reynoso finished with 11 goals and six assists in 2022 and is an absolutely elite option whenever he is on the pitch. If he is able to work things out with Minnesota he would provide a substantial boost throughout the attack, though it's unclear how Reynoso and Sang-Bing Jeong would fit into the starting XI together.
