Ezequiel Ponce - Starting in Austin match Ponce (lower body) is in the starting XI for the weekend meeting with Austin FC.

Impact Ponce didn't miss any game despite being questionable prior to this match. He'll consequently lead his side's front line for the ninth time in a row in league play, attempting to add to his team-high total of seven goals.

Gabe Segal - Questionable to face Austin Segal (lower body) is questionable for Saturday's match against Austin, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Segal could miss out on Saturday's outing after the forward suffered an injury over the break. Luckily for the club, this would be a minor loss, as he has mainly earned his minutes with late appearances in extra time. If fit, he will likely only earn a bench spot.

Antonio Carlos - Signs with Dynamo Carlos signed with the Dynamo from Fluminese on a free transfer.

Impact Carlos completed the move to Houston, joining as a veteran depth defensive option. The defender isn't likely to be a major contributor, though he will provide value as Houston struggle with rotation. Carlos last appeared in MLS with Orlando in 2023.

Ezequiel Ponce - Deemed questionable Friday Ponce (lower body) is deemed questionable for Friday's clash against LA Galaxy, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Ponce was forced off in the 36th minute of the last match against Philadelphia due to a lower-body injury and is questionable for Friday's game against the Galaxy. If he is unavailable, it would be a significant blow for Houston as he is the undisputed starting striker and will need to be replaced. Ondrej Lingr is expected to take his place if Ponce cannot feature on Friday.

Franco Escobar - Set for suspension Escobar is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in the MLS.

Impact Escobar will miss the match against LA Galaxy on Friday due to a suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card in league play. He has been a regular starter in defense and is expected to be replaced by either Felipe Andrade or Obafemi Awodesu for that game. That said, Escobar appeared to suffer an injury in the second half against Philly, so the suspension may not have much impact as he will aim to return as soon as possible if the extent of the injury is not too serious.

Brooklyn Raines - Suspension cleared Raines is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Raines has cleared his ban for yellow cards accumulation in the league and is now available for their next contest. He has been an undisputed starter for Houston since mid April and is expected to return directly to the starting XI on Friday against LA Galaxy.

Jack McGlynn - Levels score with penalty McGlynn scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union.

Impact McGlynn converted a stoppage-time penalty in the first half to bring Houston level just before the break. He added three shots and one chance created while pushing forward from midfield. McGlynn now has three goals and three assists in 19 appearances this season and has taken on a more advanced creative role in recent weeks with his new team. The former Philly midfielder was motivated against his former club and found his sixth goal contribution of the season, putting him just three away from matching his career-high total of nine from last season with Union.

Jonathan Bond - Calm outing against Philly Bond had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Bond made only one save against Philadelphia on Saturday, a crucial stop from a close-range powerful header in the 84th minute to preserve the result. He also handled crosses well and showed improved command of his area throughout the second half when Philly was pushing forward. Bond has now made 16 appearances this season and secured five clean sheets. The goalie is only three clean sheets away from his career high with LA Galaxy from the 2022 season and will look to reduce that gap against his former team on Friday.

Franco Escobar - Subs off Saturday Escobar picked up an apparent injury during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Escobar tallied three tackles and two clearances as part of a three-man defense during this game. However, he was replaced by Felipe Andrade after feeling discomfort in the second half. The Argentinian is in decent form, so losing him could be tough news for the squad. Depending on the formation, both Andrade and Obafemi Awodesu may have a chance to cover his spot in the starting lineup.

Ezequiel Ponce - Leaves with injury in draw Ponce was forced to leave the field due to an undisclosed issue in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Ponce started as a center-forward but left his place to Duane Holmes before half time. In case he's dealing with a serious situation, the striker will see his eight-game starting run ended and will be unable to add to his tally of seven goals until he can play again. On the other hand, either Holmes or a more direct replacement such as Gabe Segal could get increased playing time in the next few games.

Nelson Quinones - Sill injured Quinones (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Philadelphia, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Quinones is still battling the injury that has held him off the field all season, still to make his season debut. This is a tough development for the forward, as he was thought to be returning at the start of the summer, although that didn't come to fruition. He did start in 24 of his 33 appearances last season and held a regular role, so they will hope he can see the pitch again soon.
