Vancouver Whitecaps team news

Belal Halbouni, Joedrick Pupe, Ranko Veselinovic, Ryan Gauld, Sam Adekugbe, Sebastian Schonlau and Tristan Blackmon are the hosts' injury concerns.

Thomas Muller will feature in the final third for the Canadian Championship winners, although manager Jesper Sorensen might look to hand minutes to some fringe players.

San Jose Earthquakes team news

As for the visitors, DeJuan Jones and Rodrigues are struggling with muscle injuries. So it could be the same back-three of Max Floriani, Daniel Munie and Reid Roberts once again.
