Option off bench Raines (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with San Jose.

Impact Rained picked up a knock against Colorado last time out but it appears to have been a minor one, as he is now back on the bench.

Leaves field injured Raines was forced off the field in the 81st minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Colorado due to an injury, per Bayou City Soccer.

Impact Raines looks set to possibly miss some time, as he was taken off late into Saturday's match due to injury complications, although the true severity of the issue or where it is occurring is still unknown. This could be an unfortunate loss for the club if he does miss time, as he has started in three of their four matches this season, holding a decent spot within the team. He was replaced by Latif Blessing, who will most likely continue in Raines' role if he does miss time. However, it is still up in the air if he could be an option for Saturday's match with San Jose, as the club has yet to release a timetable for his inclusion back into the team.
