Team News

Kansas City
Philadelphia
  • Logan Ndenbe is out with a torn ACL he suffered last season
  • Khiry Shelton is out for 10 weeks after ankle surgery.
  • Danny Flores has been training individually and will miss this match.
  • Ozzie Cisneros is out with a quad injury.
  • Leon Flach is out for at least three months with a torn pec
  • Andre Blake is questionable again with an adductor issue.
  • Kai Wagner, Jakob Glesnes, and Jack McGlynn all played 120' mid-week and could be rotated.
  • Julian Carranza went down and was subbed last match, but it didn't look too serious. He's considered questionable for this match.

Prediction

  • Sporting Kansas City went into Houston and left with a point, something that was a tall task last season. Now they get a fatigued Philadelphia Union side that just played 120' mid-week in Concacaf Champions Cup action.
  • This is a bit of a perfect storm for Sporting KC. They come into this match fully rested and will have the same group as matchday one available. Philadelphia on the other hand should field a rotated squad that will have some tired legs.
