Suspension over
Roberts is back from suspension following his absence in the midweek meeting with Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Roberts will look to return immediately to the initial lineup, having played a consistent role during the 2026 campaign. In that case, the defender could perform close to his averages of 4.3 clearances, 3.9 balls recovered and 1.7 tackles per game. He has also scored two goals over his last five appearances, which somewhat makes up for the team's defensive weakness. Both Dave Romney and Max Floriani will be at risk of moving to substitute spots with Roberts back in contention.
Scores in loss to Dallas
Roberts scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Roberts excelled in both boxes as he racked up seven clearances and achieved his team's second goal in an 81st-minute set play during the defeat. It was his 13th league start of the year, and the goal opened his direct contributions count over that period. However, he's a more consistent source of defensive stats as part of a four-man back line, averaging 4.9 clearances, 1.5 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per contest while tallying five clean sheets in the early stage of the season.
