Orlando City
Rafael Ramos, Jose Aja, and Kaká are all day-to-day. All three are recovering from hamstring injuries. Ramos missed most of last season with hamstring issues before suffering a setback early this season. Kaká has missed the last five matches for Orlando City after sustaining his injury early in the Lions opening match. He has returned to training this week, but it is unknown if he will return to the pitch on Saturday. Ramos could potentially see time with Orlando City B during their home match on Thursday night.
Colorado Rapids
The most notable injury for the Rapids is defender Axel Sjoberg, who suffered a hamstring injury in the Rapids match against the New York Red Bulls. Sjoberg was a strong part of the Rapids defense that carried them to the playoffs last season. Midfielder Bismark Adjei-Boateng is also out with with a back injury that he suffered a lower back injury against Real Salt Lake. Midfielder Dillon Serna is questionable.
Tim Howard is currently serving a three-match suspension and center back Kortne Ford, who is filling in for the injured Sjoberg, was handed a one-match suspension mid-week for a harsh challenge against Minnesota.
