Who going to play? Who’s out injured? Who just needs to be rested? These are questions that all MLS Fantasy Manager fans have to deal with and the information we want is not always available as quickly as we like. Enter @MLSInjuryNews. Each week, Michael collects all the news he can from around the MLS world about who’s going to play and who’s not. Before each round starts, Michael posts all of his information here in one easy to scan through article.
So before you make your trades, be sure to take a look at Mike’s list and the official injury report from MLS.
Notable Fantasy Options
- Giovinco – returned to training, but your best hope is he comes on as a sub. TFC has been taking a slow approach to its other injuries so be wary about jumping on board yet.
- Jorales – Out v Houston. Questionable after that.
- Adi – left early in the CCL match with an apparent ankle injury. Questionable for Saturday.
- Dempsey – returned to training but no indication on when he’ll return. Definitely out this week, of course.
- Gerrard – “Likely” out this week, but should return next week.
- Dax – Was probable for TFC match
- Zusi – was doubtful for this match
- Accam – I had questions about him but I have no indication he was hurt. Think he was just getting a break after coming back from international duty.
Other Players
