Team news & squads
Phoenix Rising FC team news
Phoenix Rising enter this match amid a challenging injury situation. Head coach Pa-Modou Kah has acknowledged that the team has been hit very hard with injuries this year, losing key players like Jearl Margaritha, who was injured after scoring his third goal of the season last weekend.
Long-term absentees include Charlie Dennis and Ryan Flood, while the defensive lineup has seen frequent changes due to ongoing fitness issues. Despite these setbacks, the squad’s young core has been stepping up, with academy product Braxton Montgomery recently earning starting minutes in defense. There are no major suspensions reported for this fixture.
Houston Dynamo FC team news
Houston Dynamo also face notable absences. Midfielder Júnior Urso and goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer are both sidelined with muscle injuries, while Andrew Tarbell is out long-term with a cruciate ligament injury.
Duane Holmes and Lawrence Ennail are also unavailable due to injuries, further limiting the squad’s options. There are no fresh suspensions reported for Houston ahead of the cup tie, but the team will need to find solutions for their attacking and defensive inconsistencies in the absence of several regulars.
