Chris Durkin - Available moving forward Durkin is no longer suspended after serving his one match ban during Thursday's 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Durkin's card accumulation ban briefly cost St. Louis its starting central midfielder, with Eduard Lowen stepping into the middle of the park in his absence during the win. As an undisputed regular in that role, Durkin should regain his starting spot now that the suspension is served, giving St. Louis back its usual midfield setup as the club continues MLS play following the World Cup break.

Roman Burki - Left out due to fitness level Burki was left out of the squad due to fitness level, not injury, according to coach Yoann Damet, per Matt Baker of Flyover Footy. "He wasn't fit enough to perform, he needs a litt...

Impact Burki had appeared to be building toward a return after training in the days leading up to the match, following a groin injury that kept him out before the break, but his continued absence for fitness reasons rather than injury raises questions about his short term status. The veteran, who has been with the club since its inception, remains a candidate for increased scrutiny given the unusual nature of a healthy captain being scratched, with Ben Lundt in line to continue starting in his absence while Christian Olivares has also returned from loan as further competition in goal.

Roman Burki - Absent despite training Burki was in training in the build-up to Thursday's match against Kansas City but remains out, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Dispatch.

Impact Burki was out ahead of the break with a groin injury, but after training this week, he looked to be ready for a return. However, the goalie is still absent, leading some to believe there is something further with the team's captain. That said, the veteran, who has been with the team since they were introduced to the league, could be facing a potential transfer out, as it would be strange to have their captain out as a healthy scratch. If this were to be true, this would leave Ben Lundt to start moving forward, with Christian Olivares also just being recalled from his loan.

Impact Cordova has been unable to recover in time for the weekend after being forced off in the 63rd minute of Tuesday's US Open Cup match against Houston Dynamo, with further tests in the coming days leaving the coaching staff with no option but to keep him sidelined. The forward has played a rotational role this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly disrupt the team's plans.

Impact Burki has been unable to get the green light despite being listed as questionable with the quad concern, confirming his absence and representing one of the more impactful status updates on the entire Saturday report given his importance as St. Louis's starting goalkeeper. His unavailability forces the coaching staff to turn to Ben Lundt between the posts, with the backup option now tasked with stepping up in the absence of his first-choice counterpart.

Impact Jeong has been in and out of the injury report this season and returns this matchday with a quad concern. He's been a creative presence in St. Louis's midfield and a player with legitimate value when healthy and starting, so his questionable status is worth monitoring before Saturday.
