Impact Davis left the previous contest with significant discomfort and is now heading to the sidelines while the full extent of his injury remains unclear. This situation leaves SKC without their starting right-back of the last six league games for at least one match. Justin Reynolds will be a candidate to fill in for Davis at right-back. However, Reynolds has just returned from his own physical issue, so there might also be minutes for youngster Ian James.

Impact Davis' fitness is now a major concern for a struggling Kansas City side, as he appeared to be dealing with a significant discomfort Sunday.

Logs assist in start Davis assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 win versus Minnesota United.

Impact Davis got the start and it paid off for Sporting KC with his assist and two chances created.

Impact Davis was one of SKC's more positive players against LAFC on Saturday. In 86 minutes played, the right back created one chance, made eight passes into the final third, won all four of his tackles, but was dribbled past four times. Davis does have one goal contribution in five MLS starts this season, and will likely feature as SKC's right back again when the club faces FC Dallas this Sunday.
