Sent off Saturday Duah picked up a red card in the 32nd minute of Saturday's game against San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Duah left his side with 10 men after denying an obvious scoring opportunity in his sixth start of the season. Such event forces him to serve a one-match ban in the upcoming matchup against Minnesota, becoming available again for a subsequent visit to Real Salt Lake. Wilson Eisner subbed on after Duah's dismissal, but Christopher McVey will return from his respective suspension and could be a more natural replacement.

Out for opener Duah (leg) is out for Sunday's match against the Galaxy.

Impact Duah will not make his MLS debut Sunday, with the midfielder out due to a leg injury. With it being the midfielder's first year out of college, he will look to make an early statement in the league with the new club, hoping this injury doesn't keep him out long. He was the first overall pick in the SuperDraft, so he could see a decent role with the league's newest club in their first season.
