Appears to be option against LAFC Fragapane (quadriceps) is expected to be an option Saturday against LAFC, according to Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune.

Impact Fragapane got the start in the season opener but is now in doubt for the second match due to the injury. The strain isn't expected to be an overly serious issue, but it's still something Fragapane will have to contend with moving forward.

Sees limited minutes Fragapane scored once and made 24 appearances in 2023.

Impact Fragapane played the fewest minutes of his first three MLS seasons and all-in-all had a pretty awful season. The attacking midfielder was good for only three goal contributions. That's a far cry from the 15 goal contributions he found in his debut season that had Fragapane looking like an MVP candidate. Fragapane needs a strong pre-season to get back in the starting XI to look for a bounce back in 2024.
