Makes starting XI Yamane (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Austin.

Impact Yamane is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Austin after being cleared following a recent undisclosed issue.

Forced off against Toluca Yamane (undisclosed) was forced off in the 80th minute of Wednesday's 4-2 loss against Toluca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Austin.

Impact Yamane's issue has not been disclosed, leaving his availability Saturday's clash against Austin very much up in the air. The right-back had been holding down his spot for the Galaxy and his potential absence would force a reshuffle in the starting XI, with Mauricio Cuevas the most likely candidate to step in if he cannot go against the Verdes. The club will assess his condition over the coming days before making a call on his involvement Saturday.

Starting Saturday Yamane (personal) has been included in the starting squad for Saturday's match against Charlotte.

Impact Yamane is back after sitting out the midweek CONCACAF Champions Cup game due to a personal matter. He'll hope to remain a regular member of the Galaxy's back line going forward, relegating Mauricio Cuevas to a bench role. In that case, the Japanese should be able to record a few crosses and clearances in most contests.

Misses due to personal issues Yamane (personal) wasn't an option for Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup second leg matchup against Sporting San Miguelito, the club announced.

Impact Yamane sat out Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup second-leg clash against Sporting San Miguelito due to personal reasons and now finds himself questionable for Saturday's matchup with Charlotte. When fit and available, he's been the unquestioned first-choice option at right-back, locking down that flank week after week. If he's unable to go, the Galaxy will have to adjust on the fly, with Mauricio Cuevas lined up as the primary replacement should Yamane miss additional time.

Solid figure in backline Yamane scored one goal and provided four assists in 31 MLS appearances in 2025.

Impact Yamane remained a solid figure in the backline for LA Galaxy in 2025 although he started a lot fewer games and the team failed to rediscover his quality from 2024. The right back contributed five goal contributions, the same as his first MLS season, and was decent at the back, totaling 55 tackles, 36 interceptions and 76 clearances in 31 appearances. Yamane is expected to remain an undisputed starter heading into the 2026 season with the Galaxy.
