Diego Borges

Borges (quad) is absent from the injury report and looks poised to be available for Wednesday's match against St. Louis City, according to the MLS Player Status Report.

Analysis: Borges's clearance from the injury report comes after a season largely disrupted by a quad problem that limited him to just three MLS appearances. With so little match action banked, he's expected to be eased back in gradually rather than thrown into extended minutes right away. His return nonetheless gives the club a fresh body to call on if needed for Wednesday's game. It will likely take him some time to rediscover his rhythm after such a lengthy layoff.

Unused substiture Wednesday

Borges (groin) was an unused substitute in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against LA Galaxy, confirming his return to the matchday squad after missing three weeks of activity with an injury.

Analysis: Borges has been back in practice ahead of the Galaxy fixture and his inclusion in the squad is a clean bill of health heading into upcoming fixtures. The central defender has made two league starts this season, recording at least five clearances in each, and his return gives Sporting Kansas City more defensive options to complement current starters Ethan Bartlow and Wyatt Meyer as the MLS season progresses.
