Impact Nilsson is yet to debut for St. Louis since undergoing knee surgery in January, but he's on track with his recovery and can aim to return to availability at some point this month. He will want to break into the starting lineup in central defense once he's back at full fitness.

Njabulo Blom - Back in partial training Blom (groin) was able to complete portions of training with his STL City teammates on Wednesday, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Blom has been out since early April with a groin injury he suffered in the defeat against Seattle, but he's making progress with his recovery. He was initially expected to miss 5-6 weeks when he picked up this injury, so he likely still needs a bit of time before he can return to action.

Impact Klauss has been ever-present in St. Louis' first MLS campaign, with five goals and two assists while playing 96 percent of the club's minutes this season prior to getting injured against the Rapids on Saturday. He is ruled out for next weekend's clash against the Timbers and may be questionable for the following match against FC Dallas as well, with Nicholas Gioacchini likely to lead the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation in his absence.

Nicholas Gioacchini - Creates four chances in draw Gioacchini took a shot and created four chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Rapids. He also made a clearance in the match.

Impact Gioacchini was a passing threat to Colorado on Saturday, but he wasn't able to find a potential game-winner after Joao Klauss (knee) went down injured around the hour mark. If Klauss' injury proves to be serious, Gioacchini could find himself as the focal point of STL City's attack.

Akil Watts - Creates chance in full debut Watts made an interception and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Rapids.

Impact Watts made his first MLS start on Saturday, lining up alongside Eduard Lowen in midfield before being hooked at halftime for Indiana Vassilev. The 23-year-old should continue mostly as a depth option for St. Louis City this season, though he can also play at right-back.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Roman Burki - Makes 12 saves against Colorado Burki made 12 saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Rapids.

Impact Burki was excellent for much of Saturday's match, but he will be disappointed in eventually giving up the stoppage-time equalizer to Michael Barrios. He has now gone MLS four games without a clean sheet since last shutting out RSL in late March and next weekend he will face the 10th-placed Timbers, which have scored 11 goals in nine matches this season.

Klauss - Comes off injured against Colorado Klauss was subbed out of Saturday's draw against the Rapids in the 61st minute after suffering an apparent knee injury. He took one shot on target in the match before being taken o...

Impact Klauss is MLS's joint fourth-highest scorer at the moment with five goals and two assists to his name, so he and St. Louis will hope that this potential injury isn't anything serious. Nicholas Gioacchini and Samuel Adeniran are the next strikers in the depth chart if he does have to miss time.
