Notable Fantasy Players Injury

• Giovinco-He’s been all over the map. Literally. He went to Italy this weekend, posting on Instagram that he had to do rehab because the injury was more severe than first thought, but then Vanney said he was only questionable for the match v. Orlando and Beat writer Kurtis Larson thinking he’ll play. It seems if he plays it’s as a sub, but you’ll see the lineups first
• Drogba-Reports are that he isn’t in the XI for this match v SJ but it’s unclear if that’s due to an injury.
• Dempsey-Out for the year with the heart condition.
• Amarikwa-Haven’t seen a confirmation, but assuming his leg injury takes him out for the year.
• Sarvas-Out 2-4 weeks.
• Mendoza-out for the Houston match, may return for match at DC.
• Barnetta-questionable
• Stewart-no update, so questionable after leaving last weekend’s match early
• Yura-did some light training; questionable
• Rowe-returned to training, think he’ll play
