If Zusi is unable to go it will once again be Kayden Pierre in the starting XI.

Erik Thommy - Creative off bench Thommy had two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate), and seven corners in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus D.C. United.

Impact Thommy came off the bench for the second half of Tuesday's win and created four chances, tying his season-high since joining Kansas City. The midfielder has been excellent for his new club, though he has failed to register his first assist in MLS. The central midfielder is one of the most creative players Kansas City have, and takes a role on set-pieces whenever on the pitch.

Marinos Tzionis - Creates three chances Tzionis had two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate), and five corners in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus D.C. United.

Impact Tzionis played just 61 minutes in a rare start but did create three chances on seven crosses. The winger did well in what was his sixth start, but 26th appearances. Tzionis hasn't been a major producer off the bench and it's impossible to trust his production when starting with only a single goal contribution in 2022.

Robert Voloder - Nets rare goal Voloder scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Voloder scored his first MLs goal in his seventh start of the campaign. The central defender hasn't been a consistent piece of the first team and at just 21 is a youth option more than anything. The goal is a nice boon to reward Voloder's first season as part of the senior team. Voloder likely won't feature when Logan Ndenbe and Graham Zusi return to the starting XI.

Khiry Shelton - Finally opens account Shelton scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Shelton scored his first goal of the campaign in his 22nd appearance. The forward had somewhat of a breakout campaign in 2021 with 10 goal contributions but through his first 21 appearances in 2022 he had only a single assist. This goal is nice to avoid the goose egg on the year but does little to make up for what has been an awful season by all counts for Shelton.

Daniel Salloi - Nets in rout Salloi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against D.C. United.

Impact Salloi is in the midst of a disappointing campaign but he got back on the scoresheet for his seventh goal of the season during Tuesday's win. The forward has looked like a shadow of what he was in 2021 and has just 10 goal contributions compared to 26 last time out. Salloi will hope to finish strong and move towards double-digit goals in the final matches of the regular season.
