Minnesota United team news

Minnesota United enter this clash on a five-game unbeaten run (W2, D3) and has lost just one of their last nine matches in all competitions. However, the Loons are significantly impacted by international call-ups and injuries.

Top scorer Tani Oluwaseyi and first-choice goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair are away with Canada, while Joseph Rosales is with Honduras and Carlos Harvey is representing Panama at the Gold Cup. Hassani Dotson and Kipp Keller remain sidelined due to injury.

On the positive side, Robin Lod and Michael Boxall could return after recent international duty. Despite these absences, Minnesota boasts the joint-highest clean sheets in MLS this season and will look to maintain their defensive solidity at home.

San Diego FC team news

San Diego FC, enjoying a strong debut MLS season, comes in with five wins from their last seven league matches but has struggled away from home, losing four of their last five road games.

Like their hosts, San Diego is missing key contributors to international duty: Luca de la Torre and Anibal Godoy are both away at the Gold Cup. The squad is also dealing with several injuries, with Hamady Diop, Manu Duah, Andres Reyes, and Marcus Ingvartsen all sidelined due to leg injuries. Nevertheless, San Diego remains one of the league’s most potent attacks, with 29 goals scored—the third-highest in the Western Conference.
