Late decision due to knee issue James has been given a questionable status ahead of Saturday's clash with FC Dallas because of a knee injury, according to the league.

Impact James was likely to get a starting opportunity at right-back in Jake Davis' (knee) absence, but this blow could leave the team without both options for the next games. Therefore, Justin Reynolds may be set for a second straight start after returning from his own injury. The youngster will still hope to avoid heading to the sidelines as the extent of his problem remains unclear.
