Capita - Unimpressive in season finale Capita had two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win against San Diego FC.

Impact When healthy, Capita was a regular part of Sporting Kansas City's starting XI, with 21 of his appearances including 19 starts. Despite his forward position, he was not known for directly contributing to goals as much. Capita logged two goals on 25 shots, nine on target, and one assist on 14 crosses (one accurate) and 12 chances created.

Impact After returning from a month-long injury with some reserve appearances, Davis became a staple of Sporting Kansas City's starting XI once more beginning on Oct. 25.

Stefan Cleveland - Logs four-save clean sheet Cleveland had four saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win over San Diego FC.

Impact Cleveland ended his season on a strong note, with just his second clean sheet in 2026. In 25 games this season, he logged 93 saves and conceded 56 goals, more than two per game. 2026 was Cleveland's first MLS season as a team's primary goalkeeper, and whether that role will continue remains unknown.

Taylor Calheira - Subs off early against San Diego Calheira left Saturday's meeting with San Diego with a head blow.

Impact Calheira was treated on the field for various minutes following a heads collision with Pedro Soma, and the SKC player had to leave the game in the first half. This issue marks the end of the 2026 campaign for Calheira, whose health is now a major worry for a team that has been knocked out of the title competition. He enjoyed consistent playing time as part of a front two over the final stretch of the season, and his final numbers were five goals and two assists over 26 appearances (17 starts). With the next season starting in February, he should be able to complete the concussion protocol if required and resume training before MLS action begins. In case of a severe issue, Ruben Ramos Jr, Stephen Afrifa and Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov are the team's current alternatives up front.

Calvin Harris - Ends season injured Harris has picked up a knee injury that leaves him out of the final regular-season week, the MLS reported Friday.

Impact Harris lost his starting spot on the left wing in October, so the knee problem takes away one of his last chances to rebuild his case before the offseason. He finished the 2026 MLS campaign with four goals and four assists across 32 matches played (26 starts). Capita Capemba, who has taken over on the flank, is expected to keep the spot as SKC close a forgettable year.

Jacob Bartlett - Forced off late against Dallas Bartlett was unable to continue playing in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Dallas after suffering an intense tackle in stoppage time.

Impact Bartlett may have picked up a concerning blow to the ankle or shin following a foul that forced his withdrawal in Saturday's game. While the extent of the issue remains to be determined, the versatile player could be questionable for the final match of the season at San Diego. He had started in three of the last four league matches, completing more than 30 passes and adding several clearances each time he made the initial lineup. Those tasks could be filled by Owen Wolff and Lasse Johnsen if the 21-year-old fails to recover.

Taylor Calheira - Logs another goal Calheira scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat versus Minnesota United.

Impact October was a strong month for Calheira, whose last five appearances this month include two goals (with three shots on target) and one assist on five chances created. The three G/A make up almost half of his seven across 24 appearances (15 starts) in 2026.

Stefan Cleveland - Five saves, three goals conceded Cleveland had five saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat versus Minnesota United.

Impact Cleveland has logged five saves in each of his last three appearances. However, the goalkeeper has conceded multiple goals in six consecutive games going into Kansas City's subsequent matchup Oct. 31 against FC Dallas.

Kwaku Agyabeng - Picks up ankle injury Agyabeng has been ruled out for the penultimate regular-season week due to an ankle problem.

Impact Agyabeng's absence thins a Sporting KC midfield that was already short on bodies, coming right after he played 90 minutes in his 10th consecutive league start. The youngster grew into a regular in the middle for the last few months of the campaign. Thus, his absence could be a serious blow to the lineup, especially if Lasse Johnsen (hamstring) is not ready to feature. In that case, Owen Wolff should be in line for an increased role in the near future.

Zorhan Bassong - Questionable for Wednesday Bassong (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's clash with Minnesota, per the injury report.

Impact Bassong was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury and is now questionable. The midfielder has started the last four matches and gone more than 70 minutes in three of them, so this is a bit of a surprise. It's not clear how serious the hamstring injury is, but it appears he's a real risk of missing this clash.

Justin Reynolds - Back in training Reynolds (quadriceps) is back in training for Sporting Kansas City but won't be ready for match action this week, according to Daniel Sperry of the Kansas City Star.

Impact Reynolds has taken another step toward returning to action, but Wednesday's game against Minnesota United comes too soon, and all signs point to that being the case Saturday against FC Dallas as well. Reynolds has missed Sporting KC's last three matches but prior to that he had started seven games in a row, tallying 15 clearances and 12 tackles over that span.

Impact Afrifa was Sporting Kansas City's most dangerous attacking player, attempting nine shots and opening the scoring in the 56th minute with a low finish into the bottom corner following Andre Luiz's assist. The Canadian winger also forced two saves from Damian Las late in the first half and came close to scoring again after the break, but his efforts were ultimately insufficient to prevent defeat. Afrifa has now registered four goals and three assists across 26 MLS appearances this season, including nine starts. Having started eight of Sporting's last nine matches, he appears to have established himself as a regular attacking option, with his high shot volume against Austin highlighting his growing offensive involvement.
