Substitute option Saturday Stajduhar (hand) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Stajduhar has yet to make his season debut, so his return just adds to the team's depth behind first-choice goalkeeper Rafael. Therefore, the 27-year-old should remain in a backup role even if he's fit for the rest of the year.

Traded to Salt Lake Stajduhar was traded to Salt Lake from Orlando, the club announced.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Stajduhar (leg) has undergone successful surgery and is being placed on the season-ending injury list with a broken leg, according to his club.

Impact Stajduhar's injury turned out to be what many feared, with it now being known he will miss the rest of the season due to a broken leg. This is brutal for the keeper, as he was getting more time in net than he would see in a regular season due to Pedro Gallese's involvement in Copa America. Javier Otero will likely assume the spot in goal for now, but Pedro Gallese will continue as a starter once he returns.

Suffers possible broken leg Stajduhar was forced off the field in the 29th minute of Friday's 4-2 win against Orlando due to an apparent leg injury and has been taken to the hospital, according to his club.

Impact Stajduhar looks to have suffered a terrible injury, as there are many concerns of a broken leg after he was stretchered off and taken to the hospital following the incident. He was currently serving in net in place of Pedro Gallese while he is at Copa America, as Stajduhar is the second-string keeper, so this could be a brutal loss for the club. That said, they will hope for the best news, but it doesn't appear that he will be returning anytime soon, with Javier Otero likely getting the starts until Gallese returns.

Quiet day versus Austin Stajduhar registered one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 win against Austin FC.

Impact Stajduhar was protected well by his defense against Austin, as he only had to save one shot on his way to a clean sheet. This was his first appearance in the club's first game of the season, as he looks set to be the backup in net once again after only appearing 11 times since joining the team in 2019. He will most likely drop to the bench in the club's next contest, as regular starter Pedro Gallese is expected to return from international duty by then.

Five saves in first start Stajduhar had five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Stajduhar got the start Saturday with Pedro Gallese out on international duty and was upstanding, allowing just one goal on five saves to hand the Union their first home loss since 2021.
