Vancouver Whitecaps team news

Vancouver are dealing with notable absences in defense. Left-back Sam Adekugbe is sidelined with a quad injury and is expected to miss several more weeks, while backup full-back Edier Ocampo is suspended for this match due to a disciplinary ruling.

These issues leave head coach Jesper Sørensen short of options at left-back, likely forcing midfielder Ali Ahmed to fill in as a wing-back, a role he has played before. Otherwise, the Whitecaps have enjoyed a rare eight-day break between matches, allowing the rest of the squad to recover and prepare for this crucial fixture

Los Angeles FC team news

LAFC’s injury list is relatively short but significant. Defender Maxime Chanot is ruled out with a head injury, weakening their options at the back. Forward Odin Holm is listed as questionable with a leg issue and will be assessed closer to kickoff.

The rest of the squad is available, giving LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo some flexibility despite recent defensive struggles, particularly away from home.
