Impact Schonlau has completed his rehabilitation from an issue that left him out of seven league contests.

Cheikh Sabaly - Suffers hamstring injury Sabaly is out for the time being due to a hamstring injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Sabaly is a new addition to Vancouver's report this matchday with a hamstring injury, and the timing is notable given that Schonlau and Priso have cleared the report this matchday, suggesting the club's hamstring situation was improving before Sabaly picked one up. He's been a useful wide option for the Whitecaps, and his absence this weekend is a step backward for their attacking width. Kenji Cabrera is likely to continue in a starting role due to his absence.

Impact Gauld is now targeting a return after the World Cup break after seeing no action over the first five months of the calendar year.

Impact Priso has been inactive since March 22 and just recently returned to training with Vancouver. While he may not play a big role in the World Cup, the central man will aim to return in one of the international matches this summer. Otherwise, he'll likely be available for MLS play in July. Despite being a nominal midfielder, he has operated as a center-back lately, so he'll eventually challenge Tristan Blackmon and Mathias Laborda at the club level and Derek Cornelius in the national team.

Oliver Larraz - Training on side Larraz (hip) has been involved in light training drills sidelined from the group as he continues to recover from his injury, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Larraz suffered a knock to the hip during his last appearance on May 16 and remains questionable for upcoming contests.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Emmanuel Sabbi - Not training Wednesday Sabbi (groin) didn't take part in Wednesday's training session, Har Journalist of Equalizer Soccer reports.

Impact Sabbi might continue to miss time after being excluded from last weekend's visit to Houston with his groin injury. The winger has recorded 21 shots, 11 chances created, two goals and two assists over 11 MLS appearances this season, so his absence hurts the squad's attacking potential. The Whitecaps are expected to use a three-man attacking midfield made up of Kenji Cabrera, Thomas Muller and Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly for as long as the injured player remains sidelined.
