Andreu Fontas - Can return from suspension Fontas will be available for selection in next weekend's clash against the Sounders after serving a red card suspension.
Impact Fontas missed Saturday's loss to Montreal after getting sent off in the previous match against the Revolution, but he will be eligible to return versus Seattle next weekend. There's been some increased competition for the starting center-back spots since the start of the season with Dany Rosero and Robert Castellanos joining the mix along with Robert Voloder.

Graham Zusi - Still questionable for weekend Zusi (strain) is listed as questionable in Kansas City's injury report for Saturday's clash against CF Montreal.
Impact Zusi missed last weekend's loss to New England as well as the mid-week win in the U.S. Open Cup due to a muscular injury, and he will be a game time decision to face Montreal on Saturday. Cameron Duke could continue as the starter at right-back if Zusi isn't fit enough to return.

Gadi Kinda - Plays 30 minutes in cup match Kinda started and played the first half hour of Tuesday's 3-0 victory against Tulsa Athletic in the U.S. Open Cup.
Impact Kinda saw his first minutes of action since 2021 on Tuesday after recovering from a long-term knee injury. He will aim to break back into Kansas City's starting lineup in midfield once he's back at full fitness.

Felipe Hernandez - Takes two shots off bench Hernandez subbed into Saturday's match against the Revolution in the 67th minute, taking two shots (one on target) and creating a chance in the 2-1 defeat.
Impact Hernandez continues to rotate with Roger Espinoza for the final starting spot in Kansas City's midfield trio alongside Erik Thommy and Remi Walter, though Gadi Kinda (knee) and Nemanja Radoja (quadriceps) will also enter the fray once they recover from injuries.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Ndenbe - Starts in season debut Ndenbe made a block, a clearance and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Revolution.
Impact Ndenbe made his first appearance of the season Saturday, starting and playing about an hour against New England after recovering from a hamstring injury. With Tim Leibold (hamstring) still out and Ben Sweat leaving the club, Ndenbe is currently Sporting KC's only available natural left-back, though Robert Voloder had been operating as a stop-gap recently.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Duke - Three interceptions in start Duke made a clearance, three interceptions and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Revolution.
Impact Duke made his first start of the season on Saturday, lining up at right-back against New England in place of the injured Graham Zusi (strain).
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Thommy - Creates three chances in loss Thommy made a clearance, an interception and created three chances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Revolution. He also won two of three tackles in the match.
Impact Thommy posted his fourth game of the season with multiple chances created on Saturday, but despite his inordinate amount of production from midfield -- 32 shots (12 on target) and 17 chances created across nine games -- he's still looking to get on the scoresheet for the first time in 2023.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Castellanos - Returning from suspension Castellanos will be eligible to play in Saturday's clash against CF Montreal after serving a red card suspension.
Impact Castellanos had started three consecutive games alongside Dany Rosero in central defense to begin April before he was sent off against San Jose a few weeks ago. He will want to return straight back into the XI in place of Andreu Fontas to face Montreal on Saturday.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Melia - Logs seven saves versus New England Melia made seven saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Melia had his best performance of the campaign so far despite being beaten twice in a four-minute span during the first half. His seven saves were mostly difficult ones and kept SKC in contention for escaping with at least one point. Completely recovered from the hamstring injury that made him miss the first five matches of the season and now fully fit, the goalkeeper will certainly be one of his team's biggest hopes in an attempt to bounce back from a rocky start of campaign.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andreu Fontas - Gets sent off against New England Fontas received a second yellow card in the 61st minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Fontas returned to the starting XI after three matches as a reserve but this wasn't his best day as he didn't have significant statistical impact and ended up being sent off with his second yellow card due to a foul committed just outside the box to stop a counter-attack. The center-back will miss next Saturday's clash against Montreal, with Robert Voloder probably returning to the lineup to replace him.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Salloi - Provides assist versus New England Salloi provided an assist, had two shots (one on target) and sent in one accurate cross during Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England Revolution.
Impact Salloi got his first assist of the campaign, a great free-kick cross that found Johnny Russel unmarked inside the six-yard box to cut SKC's deficit to just one goal. However, the winger couldn't add anything else noteworthy and was ultimately subbed off during the closing stages of the contest. Salloi is still far from being that dangerous player from the end of last season and his next chance to finally produce at those standards will be Saturday's home clash against Montreal.
APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Johnny Russell - Scores in loss against New England Russell scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and created one chance during Saturday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Russell was very a very quiet performance until the 50th minute, when he appeared unmarked inside the six-yard box at the far post to slot home a free-kick cross and cut his side's deficit to just one goal. This was the first goal of the year for the winger, who will next try to keep it up during Saturday's home clash against Montreal.
