Impact Katranis appears to have overcome the adductor problem that forced his late withdrawal from the starting lineup against Seattle. The defender had been expected to feature on the left flank before suffering the injury, with Kobi Henry stepping in as his replacement. Katranis has accumulated 358 minutes across five MLS appearances since August, contributing primarily through his defensive work. His return to contention provides RSL with another option at left-back, although his readiness to start remains uncertain following the recent setback.

Starting Saturday Katranis (ear) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's match versus Austin.
