Onni Valakari - Assist in start Valakari assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Valakari did not return to San Diego's starting XI last Saturday, as he earned that opportunity in the team's midweek game instead. The international break has not stopped him from being in good form since late-August, with three G/A (one goal, two assists) across his last seven appearances to back him up.

Gabriel Pirani - Scores off bench Pirani scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Perhaps because Pirani recently returned from an injury and with San Diego playing three games in one week, he was a reserve for the team's mid-week game. Nonetheless, in just over 30 minutes, he made an impact for the side by scoring his third goal this season.

Impact In each of Dreyer's last four appearances, he has either scored or assisted a goal for San Diego. Across the four-game span, he has logged five G/A with three goals and two assists. Dreyer is somehow matching his 2025 season's unparalleled 40 G/A, still on a blistering pace in 2026 with 29 G/A across 28 appearances.

Cedric Bakambu - Starts and scores Bakambu scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Wednesday marked Bakambu's first start for San Diego, and he arguably made a valid case for why he should continue starting for the team moving forward. In both of his last two appearances, he not only logged two shots on goal but also scored for the side as well.

CJ Dos Santos - Concedes three goals Dos Santos allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Dos Santos has recently struggled to stop shots, and Wednesday was a prime example, with the goalkeeper conceding several goals without logging any saves. The goalie has allowed multiple goals in each of his last four games, with the span including 16 saves and 12 goals conceded on his part. Dos Santos will look to bounce back Saturday against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Impact Valakari returns to San Diego after missing the previous league fixture against Austin due to his international call-up. The Finnish international has been a regular presence in the starting lineup this season, contributing four goals and four assists across 25 MLS appearances, including 24 starts. His versatility allows him to operate both in midfield and further forward, providing San Diego with additional attacking options.

Sam Vines - Available following injury absence Vines (lower body) is no longer listed on San Diego FC's injury report ahead of Saturday's MLS clash against New York Red Bulls, suggesting he has recovered sufficiently to return...

Impact Vines appears to have overcome the lower-body issue that interrupted the early stages of his loan spell at San Diego. The defender joined from Houston Dynamo in September but has managed just one minute of MLS action since his arrival, leaving him with limited opportunities to establish himself. His return to availability provides additional depth at left-back, although Kieran Sargeant remains the preferred starter in that position. Vines could initially be restricted to a substitute role as he looks to earn more playing time.

Impact Achouri is back in contention after missing San Diego's previous league match against Austin while representing Tunisia. The winger has established himself as a regular starter on the left flank since arriving this summer, scoring two goals from 16 shots across eight MLS appearances, including six starts. His return provides San Diego with an important attacking boost and should put him in a strong position to reclaim his starting role. Amahl Pellegrino, who is also returning from injury, could provide additional competition on the left wing.

Impact Dos Santos returns to contention after missing San Diego's previous league fixture against Austin due to his international commitments. The goalkeeper had been in strong form before his departure, recording six saves in the 2-2 draw against Inter Miami, marking his fourth six-save performance of the season. Duran Ferree was expected to deputize during his absence, but Dos Santos should now be in contention to reclaim his starting position between the posts. His return gives San Diego its regular goalkeeping option ahead of Saturday's encounter.

Impact Pellegrino is nearing a return to competitive action after another spell on the sidelines due to a lower-body injury. The winger has struggled with several physical setbacks this season, limiting his ability to establish consistent playing time. His potential availability provides San Diego with another option on the left flank, although Elias Achouri's return from international duty could limit his chances of immediately reclaiming a starting role. Pellegrino may initially be used as a substitute as he works toward regaining match fitness.

Impact Pirani appears to have avoided a significant injury after being substituted shortly before halftime against San Jose. The midfielder had started six consecutive league matches before the setback, establishing himself as a consistent option in San Diego's lineup. His absence from the latest injury report indicates he should be available for selection Saturday, although his readiness to play a full match remains uncertain. With Onni Valakari also returning from international duty, Pirani will face additional competition for a starting position in midfield.
