Gadi Kinda - Involved in parts of training Kinda (knee) participated in parts of team training ahead of Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids, per the KC Soccer Journal.

Impact Kinda upgraded his status to questionable after participating in some parts of team training Wednesday. He missed all of 2022 after undergoing a few surgeries on his knee, and is close to making a return to the team for the first time since 2021. The midfielder will not jump into playing time too quickly, as it will take him a few weeks to ease his way back into playing in a full match.

Logan Ndenbe - Upgraded to questionable Ndenbe (hamstring) returned to full training this week and is questionable for Saturday's match versus the Colorado Rapids, reports Chad Smith of the KC Soccer Journal.

Impact Ndenbe could make his season debut Saturday after participating in full training this week. Once he returns to full match fitness, the defender could be a possible choice for the starting XI after making 19 starts in 22 appearances at left back in 2022. He does have some competition with Robert Voloder totaling 21 clearances, 10 interceptions and three clean sheets in six games thus far.

Nemanja Radoja - Not in training Radoja (quadriceps) was not training with Sporting KC on Tuesday, according to Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star.

Impact Radoja had to sub out in the first half of his first MLS start last weekend against Philadelphia, and he may be questionable to be able to feature in the Rapids match on Saturday as well.

Ben Sweat - Returning from suspension Sweat will be eligible to feature in Saturday's clash against the Rapids.

Impact Sweat was replaced by Robert Voloder at left-back while serving a red card suspension during last weekend's draw with the Union, but he is likely to slot straight back into the XI in the position against Colorado on Saturday.

Dany Rosero - Takes three shots in MLS debut Rosero took three shots (one on target) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union. He also made three clearances and a block in the match.

Impact Rosero made his club debut alongside Robert Castellanos in central defense on Saturday following his move from Colombia in early March, and he helped keep a clean sheet against the defending Eastern Conference champions. Rosero will want to challenge Andreu Fontas and Robert Voloder for a regular starting spot in the position as the campaign continues.

Robert Castellanos - Keeps clean sheet in club debut Castellanos made five clearances, three interceptions and a block in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Castellanos started alongside new signing Dany Rosero in central defense on Saturday in what was his first appearance since joining Kansas City in February. Andreu Fontas and Robert Voloder likely remain the preferred starters in the position, but Castellanos can hope to continue getting opportunities as the season continues.

Erik Thommy - Takes four shots against Philly Thommy took four shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union. He also made two blocks, three interceptions and a clearance in the match.

Impact Thommy continued his exceptional attacking production from midfield on Saturday, as he has taken at least four shots in four of his six matches this season. He hasn't scored yet however, and Sporting KC have only notched two goals as a team thus far.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Johnny Russell - Takes shot in first start of season Russell took a shot on target and created a chance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union.

Impact Russell made his first start of the campaign Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered during preseason. He should continue ahead of Khiry Shelton as the first choice on the right wing moving forward.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Graham Zusi - Takes three shots in draw Zusi took three shots (one on target) and created a chance in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union. He also made a clearance and an interception in the match.

Impact Zusi was excellent on both sides of the ball as his side shut out the defending Eastern Conference champions with a somewhat makeshift back line on Saturday. But Zusi remains a constant at right-back for Kansas City as he's started all six MLS matches this season.

John Pulskamp - Benched against Philadelphia Pulskamp was an unused substitute in Saturday's scoreless draw against the Union.

Impact Pulskamp has been the starting goalkeeper in Kansas City more or less since Tim Melia initially injured his hamstring last July, but Pulskamp was benched Saturday after conceding four goals to Jordan Morris and Seattle last weekend and may remain the No. 2 moving forward.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Melia - Keeps clean sheet against Philly Melia made four saves and kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Union.

Impact Melia made his first appearance since last July after recovering from a prolonged hamstring injury, but he wasn't rusty at all as he shut out the defending Eastern Conference champions in his first game back. He may have already taken back the starting goalkeeper spot from John Pulskamp with this performance.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alan Pulido - Plays 27 minutes Pulido (knee) played 27 minutes during Saturday's 0-0 draw against Philadelphia.

Impact Pulido entered the match as a substitute as he recovered from a knee injury which kept him out the entire season thus far. Once fully fit Pulido should be a primary starter for Sporting KC.

Nemanja Radoja - Forced off early Radoja (quadriceps) was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Philadelphia.

Impact Radoja returned to the starting XI immediately from a quadriceps injury but failed to even make half time. Roger Espinoza came on to replace Radoja, and could be a consistent starter with Radoja back on the sideline.
