Impact Shelton remains questionable for Sunday's clash though he has been listed as questionable for well over a month.

It has not gone well for the young goalkeeper as he now has conceded 14 scores in his last six matches.

Graham Zusi - Wins three tackles in win Zusi made four clearances, an interception and won three of five tackles in Saturday's 4-2 victory against the Galaxy. He also took a shot and created a chance in the match.

Impact Zusi played well on both sides of the ball as his side survived a late surge from Los Angeles and ended its three-game losing streak. A few quad injuries have limited Zusi to just five starts since the start of May, but he remains an automatic starter at right-back when healthy.
