On bench Saturday Palacio (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's meeting against Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Palacio has recorded only 194 minutes of league play this year, so he should serve as a substitute option in the near future. Before being sidelined for a couple of weeks, the defensive midfielder tallied 106 accurate passes, six interceptions and four tackles over 194 minutes of play. He'll offer depth behind current starters Emeka Eneli and Pablo Ruiz in upcoming matchups.

Impact Palacio returned to the squad after a four-game absence and saw minutes toward the end of the contest, though he didn't make an impact in the game. Palacio has mostly been used as a depth alternative throughout the year, and his role won't change in the final matches of the regular season.

Questionable for Saturday Palacio (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's match at Houston, Caleb Turner of KSL.com Sports reports.

Impact Palacio missed the 2-0 win over New England on Sep. 1 and might be in line to miss a second consecutive match. However, he's started just twice since the beginning of June, so his absence shouldn't have a big impact in most fantasy formats.

Impact Palacio is in doubt Saturday due to a knee issue. It's not clear when he picked the injury up, as he played 29 minutes off the bench last time out. Palacio has been a bench option for the most part, and wouldn't be a loss to the starting XI if ruled out.

Scores equalizer against Dallas Palacio scored a goal off his lone shot after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Dallas.

Impact Palacio was brought in the 70th minute as his team's last attempt to change the course of the game and it worked better than expected as the holding midfielder found room to go up the field and become the hero for his team with a very well-placed finish from just outside the box to draw things level at 3-3 deep into stoppage time. This was the first goal of the season for Palacio, who was already coming off assisting on the previous game, so it's safe to say he should keep getting significant playing time during upcoming matches.

Impact Palacio was credited with an assist in Real Salt Lake's fifth goal, as his forward pass set up Anderson Julio, who closed the scoring on stoppage time.
