Questionable again Herrera is questionable for Saturday's match against Dallas, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Herrera is once again facing an injury, as after returning last week from a knee issue, he is on the injury report again with the same knee problems.

With that being said, even if he is an option Saturday, he will most likely serve off the bench again, not wanting to risk further injury after just returning.
