SAM VINES NEWS

Out with illness Vines (illness) is out for Saturday's match against Austin.

Impact Vines will have to sit out the Rapid's upcoming match, leaving the club without one of their regular starters. However, he only appeared off the bench in the club's last match, with Jackson Travis taking his spot. That said, Travis will likely gain the start in Vines absence.

Makes four interceptions in loss Vines registered two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati.

Impact Vines led Colorado with a season-high four interceptions, but it wasn't enough to avoid the loss on the road. The left-back did not miss any time after leaving their prior game due to concussion protocol. He started in all 10 games so far, playing the full 90 minutes in eight of them.

Starting Saturday Vines (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Cincinnati.

Impact Vines is available after avoiding concussion protocols throughout the week. The defender was originally a doubt after coming off against Dallas, but it appears he cleared all the issues and isn't a concern for Saturday's match.

Leaves with possible concussion Vines was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Dallas with a suspected concussion.

Impact Vines left the match in the 63rd minute, being replaced by Sebastian Anderson. A possible concussion is the culprit for Vines' exit as he'll likely enter the concussion protocol ahead of next week's clash with Cincinnati.

Starts season with own goal Vines had an own goal, one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Vines could've not had a worse start to the season Saturday, as he not only was a part of the backline that allowed four goals but was also the scorer of one of those goals, as he fell victim to an own goal in stoppage time at the end of the first half. His stat line also provided a pretty poor showing for the defender in his return to the MLS, as his only defensive stat was one block.

Back to Rapids Vines completed a move back to Colorado from Royal Antwerp, the club announced Monday.

Impact Vines second season in Europe was humorous to say the least after he was left off the Champions League registration due to a clerical error. The defender never really established a major role in Belgium and he now gets the switch back to Colorado where he was a major producer after coming through the youth teams.
