Suffers injury in defeat

Atencio left the field with a potential concussion in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.

Analysis: Atencio didn't finished the first half of Saturday's match after taking a knock. He's now at risk of being sidelined in upcoming contests if he needs to go through the concussion protocol. In that case, his exclusion will open up a midfield spot for Paxten Aaronson to return to the lineup. The defensive midfielder started in five of the last six league games, scoring a goal while averaging 2.9 balls recovered per contest over that span.

Analysis: Atencio will return and likely back in the starting XI after missing the last match through suspension. He's recorded one goal on the season, making 14 tackles while recording 10 interceptions and clearances in nine MLS appearances, seven of those coming as starts.
