Zan Kolmanic - Sent off against Galaxy Kolmanic was shown a straight red card as a substitute in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Kolmanic made his second straight appearance as a substitute since returning from a hamstring injury, though he didn't last long on the pitch and was sent off due to a vehement protest to the referee. He'll consequently be ineligible for the final regular-season clash against Portland, meaning the end of the 2026 campaign for him as Austin sit at the bottom of the table without playoff hopes. Both Jon Gallagher and Guilherme Biro should be expected to retain their spots in the initial lineup unless there's rotation while Kolmanic serves his suspension.

Ervin Torres - Starting vs. Galaxy Torres (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Galaxy.

Impact Torres makes a quick return to the starting lineup after a one-game absence. The central midfielder locked down a spot in the XI in mid-August and didn't look back, as he had started 11 matches in a row before not doing so against Real Salt Lake in midweek.

Impact Alastuey scored the first MLS goal of his career after earning the start against Real Salt Lake. The midfielder has started 10 of his 15 league appearances this season, contributing 12 chances created while adding 10 combined tackles, interceptions, and clearances

Damian Las - Allows two in loss Las registered two saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-1 loss versus Real Salt Lake. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.

Impact Las conceded two goals while making two saves in Wednesday's loss to Real Salt Lake. With Brad Stuver benched and Austin out of playoff contention, he has started the last two matches, allowing three goals on five saves. If he gets the nod again Saturday, he'll face the Galaxy, who have scored 11 goals across their last five contests.

Zan Kolmanic - Removed from injury report Kolmanic (hamstring) isn't listed on the Austin injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash with Salt Lake.

Impact Kolmanic isn't among those listed on the MLS injury report and could be available to return Wednesday. The exact timeline for his return is unclear, and there's no certainty he's back Wednesday but it seems Kolmanic has a chance. If he can return Wednesday he would provide some good depth in the backline.

Besard Sabovic - Returns to substitute role Sabovic registered three tackles (three won), one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Sabovic returned to a substitute role after starting Austin's previous two MLS matches, although he still made a useful defensive contribution with three successful tackles, one clearance and one interception. The midfielder has alternated between starting assignments and appearances off the bench throughout the campaign, reflecting his position within Austin's midfield rotation. He has now recorded one assist, 22 tackles, 10 interceptions and 30 clearances across 26 MLS appearances this season, including 14 starts. His defensive work rate and occasional set-piece responsibilities could help him remain involved, although his starting opportunities continue to fluctuate.

Facundo Torres - Quiet despite set-piece involvement Torres generated five crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Torres remained involved in Austin's attacking buildup and set-piece situations, delivering five crosses and taking three corners during the comeback victory. However, the winger failed to register a shot or direct goal contribution, extending his streak to three consecutive MLS matches without a goal or assist. He has now accumulated four goals, seven assists and 67 chances created across 21 league appearances this season, remaining one of Austin's main creative outlets. His regular set-piece responsibilities continue to support his attacking production, although he will look to rediscover his direct involvement in goals.

Myrto Uzuni - Nets brace in comeback victory Uzuni scored two goals to go with five shots (five on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Uzuni delivered a decisive performance, scoring twice in the second half to overturn Austin's deficit and secure the victory. The Albanian forward equalized in the 64th minute by converting the rebound after Stefan Cleveland saved his initial header, before capitalizing on a defensive mistake to score the winner in the 86th minute. He has now recorded nine goals, one assist, 56 shots and 18 chances created across 23 MLS appearances this season, establishing himself as Austin's leading attacking threat. His five shots on target against Sporting Kansas City further highlighted his goalscoring instincts and importance to Austin's attack.

Damian Las - Makes three saves in victory Las recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Las delivered a solid performance between the posts, making three saves as Austin recovered from a second-half deficit to secure all three points. The goalkeeper produced two important stops against Stephen Afrifa late in the first half but was eventually beaten by the Canadian forward in the 56th minute. Las has now recorded 12 saves, five goals conceded and no clean sheets across three MLS appearances this season. He remains the backup to Brad Stuver, although his latest start could keep him in contention for the goalkeeper position when Austin face Real Salt Lake in their next league match.

Ervin Torres - Comes off injured in SKC trip Torres limped off the field with a discomfort in the weekend's duel versus Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Torres had to leave his place on the field to Besard Sabovic after taking a knock in the first half. The youngster has been busy lately, making 11 consecutive league starts, so his exclusion from future games would force the team to modify its midfield setup. His status is uncertain until there's a clear evaluation of the injury.

Jonathan Bell - Picks up abdominal issue Bell is out for Saturday's match at Sporting Kansas City because of a lower abdomen problem, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Bell has been a flexible piece for Austin, shuttling between central and left-sided defensive roles, and he already missed a match earlier this season with a pubis problem. This new abdominal designation points to another stretch of uncertainty heading into the final stages of the campaign. The club will have to rearrange its shape again with its playoff hopes on the line, potentially turning to a back three formed by Guilherme Biro, Oleksandr Svatok and Brendan Hines-Ike.

Brandon Vazquez - Attacking effort in loss Vazquez recorded two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Vazquez put both of his shots on target but was unable to find the net in a match where Austin struggled to generate consistent attacking momentum. His three goals from 38 shots this season show a striker who gets into dangerous positions regularly and has been unfortunate in front of goal, with 4.36 expected goals on the campaign pointing to a player due for a more productive run. His next fixture against Sporting KC, who sit 15th in the Western Conference, presents a favorable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Myrto Uzuni - Scores in loss Uzuni scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Uzuni gave Austin the lead with a tidy finish after intercepting a backpass from the Vancouver defense, showing the instinctive movement that has made him a consistent threat all season. His seven goals from 51 shots across 22 matches reflect steady production, and with 16 chances created alongside his scoring output he contributes on both ends of the attacking phase. His next fixture against Sporting KC, who sit 15th in the Western Conference, presents a favorable opportunity to build on his form.
