Live updates, score: Nashville SC vs. Sporting Kansas City in MLS match Nashville SC is back at Geodis Park to take on Sporting Kansas City in a Western Conference match. The game will be broadcast on FS1 and Fox...
Tim Melia - Picks up win Sunday Melia made one save in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Nashville SC.
Impact Melia made one save and no clearances during Sunday's win. The keeper only faced two shots and was buoyed by his offense tallying twice in front of him. Melia will be tested more frequently during a Saturday trip to Seattle.

Andreu Fontas - Busy defensively Fontas had three tackles (three won) and nine clearances in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Nashville SC.
Impact Fontas was busy all over the defense as he snuffed out multiple Nashville attacks. The center-back doesn't have any sort of goal upside, but his ability to occasionally fill the stat sheet defensively makes him an interesting fantasy option. He will be tested defensively once more during a Saturday trip to Seattle.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remi Walter - Earns first assist Walter assisted once to go with zero corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Nashville SC.
Impact Walter earned his first assist of the season Sunday, a well-deserved tally for the midfielder that has started every single match so far. Walter has one of the most secure starting jobs in MLS and is well-earning a role all over midfield, tallying two goals so far in 2022 to go with his assist. He will hope to keep this good form going during Saturday's trip to Seattle.

Graham Zusi - Nets rare goal Zusi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win over Nashville SC.
Impact Zusi scored his first goal of the campaign matching his goal-scoring tallies from his last two seasons. The right-back has never been a major goal-threat though his lack of assists to this point in the season is a concern. Zusi managed five assists in 2021 and will need a blistering second-half to reach that same mark in 2022. Next up is a Saturday trip to Seattle.
JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Felipe Hernandez - Nets in win Hernandez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate), and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Nashville SC.
Impact Hernandez scored his first goal of the season during his 10th start. The midfielder has been a consistent part of the starting XI recently and has been pushing for his first goal with nine shots in his last three games. He got his goal Sunday and will look to build on that during a Saturday trip to Seattle.

Marinos Tzionis - On bench against Nashville Tzionis (not injury related) is in Kansas City's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Nashville SC.
Impact Tzionis has returned to the Sporting KC squad after missing a game while on international duty. He has 14 MLS appearances this season but only two starts so far.

Remi Walter - In starting lineup Sunday Walter (ankle) is starting for Kansas City in Sunday's clash against Nashville SC.
Impact Walter was subbed out with an ankle injury in the first half last weekend, but he has recovered and will be back on the pitch in midfield from the start against Nashville.

Remi Walter - Facing fitness test for weekend Walter (ankle) is listed as questionable in Kansas City's injury report for Sunday's clash against Nashville SC.
Impact Walter came off with a sprained ankle in the first half of last weekend's defeat to New England, and he will now be a game time decision on Sunday. With forwards Daniel Salloi (not injury related) and Khiry Shelton (hamstring) back in the team, Felipe Hernandez should be able to slide back into midfield if Walter is unable to play against Nashville.

Daniel Salloi - Returns early from internationals Salloi (international duty) returned from international duty with the Hungarian National Team on Monday ahead of Sunday's trip to Nashville.
Impact Salloi's early return to Kansas City means he will more than likely be available for selection in Sunday's MLS clash against Nashville on the left wing. He didn't feature for Hungary, so he should be rested and given the other issues in SKC's squad, it's expected he'll return to XI in his normal spot after missing the last three contests.

Tim Melia - Beaten twice in loss Melia allowed two goals while making three saves during Sunday's 2-1 loss to New England.
Impact Melia allowed a goal in each half including the game winner in the 87th minute. The keeper has now allowed 28 goals in 16 league starts while his three saves upped his season total to 32.

Graham Zusi - Makes three clearances Zusi made two interceptions and three clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to New England.
Impact Zusi was a part of the Sporting back line that allowed two goals on Sunday. The fullback finished with the second highest amount of interceptions and clearances on the team in the loss.
JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Johnny Russell - Fifth goal of season Russell scored a goal while taking two shots (both on goal), crossing three times inaccurately and creating a chance during Sunday's 2-1 loss to New England.
Impact Russell found the back of the net in the 52nd minute, scoring Sporting's lone goal. The goal was the fifth of the season for the attacker as he finished with the second highest amount of crosses and chances created on the team in the loss.

Oriol Rosell - Sent off against New England Rosell was shown a red card in the 48th minute of Sunday's defeat against the Revolution following a foul on Carles Gil for his second booking of the game. He made a clearance, an...
Impact Rosell was sent off with his side trailing 1-0, and his side ended up losing 2-1 without him. He will be suspended for next weekend's clash against Nashville SC where SKC will have trouble filling out a normal starting XI, as Remi Walter sprained his ankle over the weekend, as well.

Remi Walter - Sprains ankle in loss Walter sprained his ankle and was forced off in the 33rd minute of Sunday's 2-1 loss against the Revs, reports Daniel Sperry of the KC Star.
Impact Walter had yet to miss a minute this season for SKC and the hope is that this is only a minor tweak. More details should come out over the week, but if he has to miss time, that could mean another change in formation for SKC, who have been changing a few things in recent weeks because of absences and injuries to a lot of their regulars. Fortunately for this match, Khiry Shelton returned from his hamstring injury and came on for Walter.
JUNE 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Khiry Shelton - Plays off bench in loss Shelton (hamstring) played 57 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 loss against New England.
Impact Shelton was back from a minor hamstring injury and he came on for the injured Remi Walter. Things aren't going well for SKC at the moment and the return of Shelton isn't that big of a boost, as he's failed to make the score-sheet, managing just three shots on target in 11 appearances (nine starts) this season.
JUNE 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Graham Zusi - Goes 89 minutes in return Zusi (quad) started and went 89 minutes in Sunday's 2-1 loss against New England, totaling one interception and three clearances.
Impact Zusi almost went the full 90 Sunday, but that didn't change much for SKC, who continue to struggle across the pitch. A worrying sign was zero attempted crosses for Zusi, who had started the season fine but at 35 years old, injuries are part of him. He'll hope to rebound and put together some starts in order to put the injury behind him.
