The MLS injury report has been updated ahead of tomorrow's game against DC United.

Here is the official list from MLS and FC Dallas:

Out of: Geovane Jesus (knee), Paxton Pomykal (knee), Liam Fraser (thigh)

Questionable: no

Borrowed: Isaiah Parker (North Texas, SC)

Not available (except duty roster): Malik Henry-Scott, Tarik Scott, Alejandro Uraza

Exposed: no

Here is DC’s injury list:

Out of: Russell Canouse (not injured), Conner Antley (knee), Jackson Hopkins (ankle), Christopher McVey (hip)
Questionable: no

Yes, it is remarkable that FC Dallas' injury list is so short again. In a way, it should always be that way for this club.

I'd like to point out that interim manager Peter Luccin was pretty open and honest on Thursday afternoon about the potential return of Alan Velasco and Jesus Ferreira. He didn't say outright whether they'll play or not, but he sounded pretty cautious about the two given the injuries they're recovering from.

If I were to bet, we would probably see 15-30 minutes for Velasco on Saturday, while Ferreira could play around 60 minutes. That seems like the smart move for the club with both players. I would also expect Patrickson Delgado to get a similarly reduced amount of playing time.
