Jefferson Savarino - Still dealing with calf injury Savarino (calf) is listed as probable in RSL's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Crew.

Impact Savarino played 30 minutes off the bench against St. Louis last weekend, taking three shots (one on target) and creating a chance in the 4-0 defeat. But he's not completely over his calf injury just yet, even though he's still probable to be able to play against Columbus on Saturday.

Marcelo Silva - Remains questionable Silva (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's trip to Columbus, according to the RSL injury report.

Bryan Oviedo - Ruled out Saturday Oviedo (calf) is out for Saturday's clash with Columbus, according to the Salt Lake injury report.

Brayan Vera - Takes two shots in MLS debut Vera took two shots (one on target) and won one of three tackles in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against St. Louis City. He also made three clearances and a block in the match.

Impact Vera made his RSL debut alongside Justen Glad in central defense on Saturday after his February transfer from Colombia, but his side ended up shipping four goals to STL on the night. Vera is more likely to compete with Bryan Oviedo for the left-back spot moving forward rather than remaining a center-back for Salt Lake.

Justin Meram - Takes three shots in start Meram took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 4-0 defeat against St. Louis City. He also made two interceptions and won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Meram got his first start of the season on Saturday and while he was dangerous from the left wing, it ended up being a comfortable victory for St. Louis. Meram is likely to return to the bench next weekend in favor of Jefferson Savarino once all the international players return from the March window.

Impact Ruiz made his season debut Saturday after a delayed start to the campaign due to visa issues, and he was mostly solid from defensive midfield despite a costly error with a back-pass straight to Joao Klauss for STL's third goal. Ruiz should continue as a starter in the position moving forward alongside Braian Ojeda (not injury related).

He will hope to bounce back next weekend against the Crew, who themselves just scored six on Atlanta Saturday.

Impact Loffelsend has started two of three games this season alongside Braian Ojeda in defensive midfield, only missing out against the Sounders in early March due to a suspension. With Ojeda away on international duty this weekend, Scott Caldwell, Pablo Ruiz (not injury related) and possibly Moses Nyeman all become options to make the XI if Loffelsend is ultimately ruled out.
