Impact Morales was sent off late in Sunday's clash which left his teammates down to ten men to end the game. He will be suspended for their next contest against Seattle on Saturday at least. His absence will force a change in the midfield since he has been an undisputed starter for St. Louis since late March, with Akil Watts likely replacing him for that game.

Marcel Hartel - Five crosses in draw Hartel logged five crosses in St. Louis City SC's 2-2 draw Sunday against LAFC. He also had three shots (two on target).

Impact Nilsson could be back as a substitute after being excluded from the previous two matches due to the injury.

He'll challenge Joshua Yaro and Timo Baumgartl for central spots in future games.

Joakim Nilsson - Participates in full training Nilsson (knee) participated in full training Friday and is in contention to play against LAFC on Sunday, Matt Baker of KTRS 550 reports.

Impact Nilsson has missed the last two matches for St. Louis, but the fact that he's back in the mix in full training suggests he should return to action this weekend. That said, he's made just two starts out of four appearances, so he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Rasmus Alm - Trains in parts Alm (hip) was involved in parts of team training Friday and is questionable for Sunday's match against LAFC, according to Matt Baker of KTRS 550.

Impact Alm is seeing some progress this week but it likely won't be enough to make the squad Sunday, as he did only train in parts of the group session Friday. That said, he will likely still be a late call, possibly seeing a spot on the team sheet. He has yet to appear this season and will likely need to test his legs before he sees any starting time.

Roman Burki - Not likely to play Burki (hand) was "training with no hands" Friday and is not likely to play against LAFC on Sunday, according to Matt Baker of KTRS 550.

Impact Burki is back in training, but the fact that he's not training with his hands suggests he's not ready to return to action yet. This means Ben Lundt will remain as the starting goalkeeper for St. Louis until Burki is ready to return. His next chance to play would come against Seattle on Saturday, May 3.

Henry Kessler - Doesn't train, out again Kessler (undisclosed) did not train Friday and is out for Sunday's match against LAFC, according to Matt Baker of KTRS 550.

Impact Kessler is set to miss a second match in a row Saturday, with the defender still not recovered from his injury after not training. This continues to be a tough blow, as he is a regular starter when fit. That said, Joshua Yaro, Kyle Hiebert and Timo Baumgartl will likely continue as the defensive trio with Kessler out.

Ben Lundt - Two saves for draw Lundt made two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Lundt stopped both of the shots he faced during Saturday's draw. All-in-all it was quite the impressive performance as he shut down one of the top attacking units in MLS. Lundt continues to start while Roman Burki (hand) completes his recovery.

Alfredo Morales - Busy defensively Morales registered two tackles (one won) and one clearance in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Morales was a defensive option in the midfield throughout Saturday's draw. The midfielder failed to really get onto the ball or get forward, largely doing his work to slow down the Vancouver attacks. The midfielder will likely remain a more limited defensive option moving forward with less offensive upside.

Simon Becher - Single shots in draw Becher generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Becher took a shot during Saturday's draw, but didn't get much going throughout the clash. The forward hasn't been too productive early in the MLS season, the hope is that the forward can step up in the coming weeks. Becher has struggled to take the top job in the St. Louis attack, though with goals seemingly hard to come by he could quickly play his way into a starting role.

Timo Baumgartl - Tallies clean sheet Baumgartl registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Baumgartl didn't have a whole lot to do during Saturday's draw, failing to get much going on either side of the ball. In the end the defender was able to come away with the clean sheet. He will need to be at his best to keep the clean sheets going in the coming weeks.

Joshua Yaro - Starts against Whitecaps Yaro (concussion) is in the starting lineup to face Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.

Impact Yaro avoided a severe injury from the issue that forced him off against Columbus. He's expected to be part of a back line alongside Timo Baumgartl and Kyle Hiebert in the absence of Henry Kessler (undisclosed). Thus, the 30-year-old could be reliable for his averages of 31 accurate passes and two clearances per contest over the last three games.

Henry Kessler - Out Saturday Kessler is a late absence for Saturday's matchup versus Vancouver Whitecaps after picking up an undisclosed injury, according to the club.

Impact Kessler has been replaced by Joshua Yaro in the starting lineup for the ninth game of the year. The usual center-back will be questionable for subsequent contests while he works on his recovery. Losing him is a considerable blow to the squad, as he's the team's leader with averages of 45.1 passes and 7.2 clearances per game.

Chris Durkin - Absent from training Durkin (knee) was absent from the team's training session Wednesday, per Matt Baker.

Impact Durkin remains sidelined as he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained a few weeks ago. The midfielder has contributed four crosses, four tackles, and 12 clearances across five appearances this season. He's likely to miss at least one more match as the team aims to avoid aggravating the injury.

Eduard Lowen - Personal absence ongoing Lowen (personal reasons) was not present at training Wednesday, Matt Baker reports.

Impact Lowen has missed the last two matches due to undisclosed personal reasons, following a red card suspension the game prior.

Jayden Reid - Spotted training solo Reid (foot) was seen training separately from the team Wednesday, per Matt Baker.

Impact Reid was limited to individual work on the sidelines, and there's still no official timeline for his full return. He has missed all eight of St. Louis' matches so far this season with a foot injury. The 23-year-old midfielder had two assists, 11 crosses and 16 tackles across 12 appearances last year.

Impact Nilsson has recorded one tackle, two interceptions, and four clearances across four appearances this season, including two starts.
