BDS Notes:

So some big news off the top, Marco Farfan is off the injury list after being out the last two months. Given the amount of games coming up, I would imagine we will see a slow roll out for his minutes, similar to what we are currently seeing with Petar Musa and Paxton Pomykal.

The other one on the list that stands out is Maarten Paes with an undisclosed illness. I’m not sure what has been going around the locker room this season but this is the latest in a slew of players who have had a flu or some sort of illness this season. Very interesting.

Elsewhere, we still see Leo Chu and Sebastian Lletget on the injury list for another weekend. Both are still expected to be back within the next couple of weeks, which is perfect timing given the schedule this month.

Houston on the other hand does have a few injuries to deal with ahead of tomorrow’s match. They’ve had goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell on the season-ending list for a few weeks now, as Jonathan Bond has stepped in as the new starter over former FCD keeper Jimmy Maurer.

2 Newman isn't officially on the club's SEI list but he's technically going to be out for the rest of the year as he recovers from an ACL surgery.
