Sporting Kansas City team news

Sporting Kansas City remain without several key players due to injury. Defenders Daniel Rosero and Robert Voloder, along with midfielder Nemanja Radoja, are all sidelined and unavailable for selection.

Despite these absences, the team is expected to stick with a similar lineup to the one that secured a 2-1 win over Charlotte.

Real Salt Lake team news

Real Salt Lake are also dealing with important absences. Star playmaker Diego Luna is away on international duty with the United States at the Gold Cup and will not be available for this match.

Emeka Eneli and Javain Brown are still out injured. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni may repeat the starting XI that earned a 2-0 win over DC United, with William Agada and Johnny Russell leading the attack and Zavier Gozo providing support.
