On bench against SKC

Nelson (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's game versus Sporting Kansas City.

Analysis: Nelson missed three MLS contests before completing his rehabilitation from an injury he suffered on May 3. He'll likely return to action as a substitute and will then remain in contention with Owen Wolff and Jon Gallagher. In that case, Nelson should have decent chances to increase his count of two goals, which currently ranks third on the squad.

Late scratch against St. Louis

Nelson was removed from the starting lineup and didn't play in Sunday's game versus St. Louis City.

Analysis: Nelson has struggled to stay healthy in recent weeks and could now be sidelined for longer if he suffered a setback. However, it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to play in upcoming matches. He has been a decent attacking asset when available, scoring two goals from seven shots (two on goal) in the current MLS season. Jon Gallagher took his place Sunday and should continue to feature on the left wing until Nelson is fully fit.
