Khiry Shelton - Picks up calf injury Shelton suffered a calf injury during Wednesday's Open Cup loss to Sacramento Republic, according to Aly Trost Martin of Sports Radio 810.

Impact Shelton is probably out for Saturday's match against Austin if he's fresh off a muscle injury. He's logged just one assist in 18 appearances (14 starts) this season and his absence could see Daniel Salloi start at striker.

Tim Melia - Out in U.S. Open Cup Melia (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup Semifinal with a hamstring injury picked up against LAFC.

Impact Melia just returned from a shoulder injury and could be headed straight back to the rehab room as he is now confirmed to have suffered a hamstring injury. This injury puts his status for Saturday's clash with Austin in heavy doubt to say the least. John Pulskamp will very likely be the starter once more.

Do or Die: Sporting Kansas City is one victory away from the U.S. Open Cup final Sporting needs to get past Sacramento Republic to reach Cup final

Erik Thommy - Eight crosses on debut Thommy had three shots (one on goal), eight crosses (one accurate), and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Thommy was an immediate difference-maker for Kansas City on debut. The midfielder joined the club from Stuttgart and just cleared his visa issues to join the first team. Thommy appears to be an immediate starter with a role on set-pieces and should be right back in the starting XI against Austin next time out.

John Pulskamp - Comes on late Pulskamp made no saves in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Pulskamp was brought in with Tim Melia injured once more and looks to once again be getting a crack at the starting job. While Melia was hurt for the last two matches it was Pulskamp who got two starts, making 11 saves and conceding four goals. If Melia is set to miss any length of time it will be Pulskamp who is straight back into the starting XI.

Felipe Hernandez - Comes off with knock Hernandez had one cross (one accurate) and zero chances created in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Hernandez came off with a knock during the 65th minute of Saturday's loss. The midfielder has been in and out of the starting XI, but a nailed on player even off the bench. Oriol Rosell replaced Hernandez, and Rosell is a relatively consistent starter meaning any sort of injury to Hernandez would solidify that role even more.

JULY 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Melia - Comes off injured Melia came off after 53 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Melia made his return during Saturday's loss and was unable to go the full 90 coming off after just 53 minutes. John Pulskamp came into replace him once more and with these recurring issues it may just be Pulskamp's net moving forward. Melia's next chance to play is against Austin on Saturday.
