William Agada - Scores in return Agada (foot) came off the bench and scored during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Toluca.

Impact Agada made his return to the pitch after sitting out the last four months with a foot injury. With the team out of the Leagues Cup, it will give the forward more time to work on his fitness so he can start Aug 20 against San Jose.

Impact Hernandez has not played in match since June 11, making just two starts in 11 appearances this season. He will continue his bench role for the team as he continues to struggle to keep a starting role in the midfield.

Kayden Pierre - Active in Leagues Cup Pierre (hamstring) was on the bench for a 3-3 (4-2) loss to Cincinnati in the Leagues Cup.

Impact Pierre returned to the bench in the Leagues Cup. The defender went unused though that isn't overly surprising as he has been a depth option even when fit. He reportedly returned to full training in June and should be fully fit moving forward.

JULY 24, 2023 • CINCINNATI.COM

Nemanja Radoja - Dealing with ankle injury Radoja didn't travel for the team's Leagues Cup clash with Cincinnati on Sunday due to an ankle problem.

Impact Radoja has been limited to just 16 appearances (14 starts) for Kansas City this season due to various injuries. When healthy, the midfielder has registered seven shots (one on target), 19 tackles and 15 interceptions. Barring a long-term absence, Radoja should be a near-lock for the starting XI when the MLS season picks back up Aug. 26 versus San Jose.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Salloi - Out with groin problem Salloi missed Sunday's Leagues Cup matchup with Cincinnati due to a groin injury.

Impact Salloi has started all 25 MLS matches for Sporting KC this season in which he recorded five goals on 55 shots (24 on target), three assists, 102 crosses (36 accurate) and 53 corners. The forward should have plenty of time to recover before MLS resumes play Aug. 26 versus San Jose.

Tim Melia - Training in some capacity Melia (quadriceps) was back training with Sporting KC on Tuesday, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports ahead of the start of the Leagues Cup this month.

Impact Melia has been out for roughly two months with a quad injury he suffered in mid-May, but he seems to be recovering ahead of schedule based on the original 3-4-month timeline. He can hope to become available for selection against FC Cincinnati or Chivas Guadalajara in the Leagues Cup, and he'll aim to take back over from Kendall McIntosh as the starting goalkeeper once he's fully fit again.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

William Agada - Back in training Agada (foot) has returned to training in some capacity with Sporting KC, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday.

Impact Agada has been out since April after undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his foot. He is targeting a return to the squad for the Leagues Cup this month, though he has likely fallen behind Alan Pulido in the depth chart, as the Mexican striker has been on an excellent run of form recently.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kendall Mcintosh - Four saves for loss McIntosh had four saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Austin FC.

Impact McIntosh stopped four of the six shots he faced during Saturday's loss but couldn't do enough to come away with the win. It's been a tough run for McIntosh, who has kept just a single clean sheet in 13 starts, conceding 20 goals in that span and averaging three saves per start. McIntosh will hope for a more solid defensive unit after the break, though his upside is largely limted.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jake Davis - Busy defensively Davis had four tackles (three won) and three interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Austin FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 53rd minute.

Impact Davis had plenty to do behind the ball during Saturday's loss, piling on defensive volume throughout the match. The wing-back has stepped into his own on the right flank in 2023, earning a consistent role in the starting XI of late. He's yet to get a goal or primary assist in MLS but Davis seems to have secured a stable role in the starting XI.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Thommy - Three shots Saturday Thommy had three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Austin FC.

Impact Thommy shot three times in a new role on the right wing but failed to get on the score sheet. The midfielder has been impressive since making the switch to MLS, with nine goal contributions largely from defensive midfield. He isn't likely to hold onto a role on the right wing moving forward, though Thommy has been just as productive in his standard more reserved role.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Salloi - Assists in defeat Salloi assisted once to go with five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Austin FC.

Impact Salloi got on the scoresheet for his second game in a row with a goal contribution, tallying his third assist in his 25th start. The forward has had a quiet year across the board and hasn't been overly impressive, with just 10 goal contributions in 25 matches. Still Salloi will hope for a strong end to the MLS season after the break.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dany Rosero - Scores rare goal Rosero scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Austin FC.

Impact Rosero scored his second goal of 2023 and his first goal since May during Saturday's loss. The center-back isn't any sort of offensive threat but has done well to pile on defensive volume in his debut season. Rosero has made 28 interceptions and 55 clearances in 17 starts in central defense.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nemanja Radoja - Plays 90 minutes Radoja generated one tackle (zero won) and three interceptions in Thursday's 2-2 draw against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Radoja looks like he is back to 100% after playing all 90 minutes Wednesday. He will continue to get the start in the midfield, where he had totaled nine tackles (five won) and nine interceptions.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Erik Thommy - Logs in assist Thommy assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-2 draw against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Thommy is now tied for first for the team lead in assist with his fourth of the season. In the last five matches, the midfielder has started four of them while generating a goal and two assists on 13 crosses (three accurate) and six interceptions.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Salloi - Bags goal Salloi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-2 draw versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Salloi scored his fifth goal of the season and his first in eight matches. With 21 crosses (six accurate) and 13 shots (four on target), he ups his average crosses per match to four and shots to 2.2.
