- They will be without Ethan Bartlow remains out with a concussion for the Dynamo.
- Tyler Pasher missed out on the weekend with a lower body injury and remains a doubt going into this match.
- Sporting Kansas City star goalkeeper Tim Melia has missed the start of the season so far. He has returned to training following the weekend so could be back involved here although it's unclear if he'll be fit enough for this so 20-year-old John Pulskamp could continue between the posts.
- Nicolas Isimat-Mirin is also a doubt for the home side.
- Midfielder Felipe Hernandez has a knee injury and is out this weekend.
