Reid Roberts - Missing trip to Colorado Roberts generated two clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 3-1 win over Portland Timbers. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.

Impact Roberts is set to serve a second suspension in a month after picking up his eighth yellow card of the season. Despite missing a game through injury, the defender has consistently started for San Jose, recording a goal while making 18 clearances, two blocks and keeping a clean sheet within the last six MLS appearances. Dave Romney will likely keep his center back role, with Jack Jasinski also likely to get a call to start at center back on Oct 10

Daniel Munie - Retains starting spot Saturday Munie (upper body) is part of San Jose's starting lineup for Saturday's meeting with Portland Timbers.

Impact Munie didn't miss time as he was dealing with a slight physical problem following a 45-minute outing in his previous league game. He'll consequently remain one of the squad's most consistent defensive contributors, with his average of 3.5 clearances per game currently ranking fourth on the team. On the other hand, Max Floriani will be on the bench for upcoming contests.

Ronaldo Vieira - Forced off with apparent injury Vieira (undisclosed) was forced off in the 79th minute of Friday's 2-0 win over Tanzania due to an apparent injury, according to Futbol24.

Impact Vieira had earned the team captaincy at San Jose this season, leading all midfielders in clearances from a primarily defensive role, and this setback adds fresh concern to his availability heading into the next AFCON qualifier against Nigeria on Tuesday. His recovery timeline will be worth monitoring as further details emerge.

Niko Tsakiris - Questionable for time being Tsakiris is dealing with an upper body injury and could miss Saturday's match against Portland, the league reported Friday.

Impact Tsakiris has served as one of the team's starting attacking midfielders and a creative threat with plenty of set-piece duties, so his unavailability would be a meaningful worry for the attack. His status will be a late call for the next game as it's unclear if his injury is serious. All of Timo Werner, Beau Leroux and Eduard Lowen will carry increased offensive responsibilities if Tsakiris is forced to miss time.

Daniel Munie - Suffers lower body injury Munie is questionable for upcoming league matches while he works on his recovery from a lower body issue, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Munie is a key center-back for San Jose, and this concern could be quite impactful heading into the final stages of the regular season. While he's not definitely ruled out, his absence would force the back line to reorganize at a time when the club is already managing multiple other absences. Max Floriani is a viable choice to join Reid Roberts and Dave Romney in central defense if required in upcoming contests.

Impact Gunn was recently named to the MLS Team of the Matchday after making five saves in a clean sheet win over Houston, and Earl Edwards Jr. is set to start between the posts in his absence, with Gunn set to feature for Scotland across four Nations League matches after previously starting all three of the country's group stage games at this summer's World Cup.

Beau Leroux - Assist on late equalizer Leroux assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Leroux registered two shots without troubling Hugo Lloris and delivered the assist on Reid Roberts' dramatic 90+8 equalizer, one corner and one additional chance created across 90 minutes as San Jose pushed relentlessly for an equalizer throughout the second half against a 10-man LAFC side. His contribution on Roberts' goal was the decisive moment that denied LAFC three points in one of the most dramatic finishes of the MLS season.

Timo Werner - Provides assist in tie Werner assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Werner came off the bench and delivered the assist on Preston Judd's 70th minute header, whipping a curling ball from the right into the area that Judd met with a leaping finish to reduce LAFC's lead to 2-1. He also registered three shots including one on target and delivered three inaccurate crosses and two corners across 28 minutes before being denied by Hugo Lloris in the 80th minute from a promising position.

Reid Roberts - Scores late equalizer Roberts scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Roberts drove a low left-footed shot from 30 yards inside the post in the eighth minute of stoppage time to complete San Jose's comeback from 2-0 down and salvage a point against a 10-man LAFC side, registering two shots including two on goal across 90 minutes. The goal was San Jose's latest equalizer of the MLS season and denied LAFC three points they had guarded for nearly an hour with a numerical disadvantage.

Preston Judd - Scores goal off bench Judd scored one goal to go with three shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 66th minute.

Impact Judd came off the bench in the second half and headed home Timo Werner's 70th minute cross to reduce LAFC's lead to 2-1, registering three shots including three on target across 45 minutes before being denied by Hugo Lloris with a free header in the 80th minute that would have leveled earlier. He was San Jose's most dangerous outlet after his introduction and his persistence in the area created the sustained pressure that ultimately produced Reid Roberts' late equalizer.

Angus Gunn - Zero saves in draw Gunn recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Gunn was not called upon to make a single save in Saturday's 2-2 MLS home draw with LAFC, beaten by Son Heung-Min's 34th minute curler from 25 yards and Denis Bouanga's 53rd minute far-post finish, with neither goal stemming from individual errors. He watched on as his teammates produced the equalizer in the eighth minute of stoppage time after LAFC had protected their lead with 10 men for 54 minutes.

Timo Werner - On bench Saturday Werner (lower body) is among the substitutes for Saturday's meeting with Los Angeles FC.

Impact Werner could see minutes in this game after being forced to sit out the last month of action while recovering from a lower body problem. While he's not ready for a lengthy outing yet, his return to the match squad is excellent news for a side that now sees it's offensive power greatly strengthened with both Werner and Preston Judd recovered from their respective injuries. The star attacker will push for a significant role on the left wing or in a central spot in place of either Niko Tsakiris or Ronaldo Vieira and will likely take set pieces away from Tsakiris.

Preston Judd - Substitute option Saturday Judd (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Los Angeles FC.

Impact Judd's potential comeback is a major boost to the Earthquake's attacking depth, giving them a solid alternative to Ousseni Bouda up front. The experienced striker had slowed down following a strong start to the season, but he remains the squad's top scorer with 12 goals in 23 matches played.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Earl Edwards Jr. - On bench for LAFC clash Edwards (lower body) is on the bench in Saturday's contest versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Edwards will be available for the first time since April following a lengthy recovery from his latest injury. However, he's currently limited to a bench role behind first option Angus Gunn. If that remains the case for the rest of the season, Edwards will lack value unless he's considered for rotation at some point or gets starts when Gunn is not fit.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Reid Roberts - Starts against LAFC Roberts (lower body) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's match against Los Angeles FC.

Impact Roberts has recovered quickly enough from the issue that kept him questionable heading into this contest, reclaiming his center-back spot after the issue looked like it could cost him at least another game. Jack Jasinski, who had stepped in during his absence, drops back to the depth options. Roberts has contributed to San Jose's starting defense consistently and has chipped in with two goals this season, adding scoring upside to what is otherwise one of the more straightforward defensive profiles in MLS.
