FRISCO - FC Dallas remains fairly healthy coming into its matchup with the San Jose Earthquakes, with just two players on the injury report. San Jose, on the other hand, could be missing some key players in its backline. Its defense could look very different than the last time these two teams played earlier in the month.
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES
OUT: Kevin Partida (torn ACL), Harold Cummings (thigh injury)
QUESTIONABLE: Harold Cummings (thigh injury)
San Jose catches a break this week as Nick Lima comes off the injury report. Lima is the only field player who has started all 25 games for the team this season and has played 2,239 of a possible 2,250 minutes. Harold Cummings has missed the teams last two matches after suffering a thigh injury. Prior to that, he started six straight games for the Quakes backline. Partida has not played since July 7.
San Jose gets outside back Shea Salinas back from a two-game suspension.
FC DALLAS
OUT: Francis Atuahene (left calf strain), Kris Reaves (left foot stress fracture)
Francis Atuahene remains out with strained his left calf and Kris Reaves is unavailable after aggravating a stress fracture in his left foot.
