J.C. Ngando - Three tackles in loss Ngando won all three of his tackle attempts and had one block in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus San Jose.

Impact Playing only his second match of the year Ngando appeared to be finding his footing. The midfielder played only 65 minutes but was a thorn in the side of San Jose players all afternoon. After missing the last two matches, Ngando was lifted for a late sub, a trend that could continue on Saturday versus Portland.

Andres Cubas - Absent from practice Cubas (quadriceps) didn't train Friday as he continues to deal with an injury, per Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer.
