Sporting KCStarting after injury scare
Capita (knee) is in the initial lineup for Saturday's match against Austin.
Analysis: Capita was at risk of missing this game as he wasn't 100 percent physically, but he's ready to play a meaningful role Saturday. After scoring his first goal of the campaign midweek against LA Galaxy, he'll hope to build on the momentum while operating on the right wing. If he does stay in good form, he'll likely be selected over Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov or Manu Garcia going forward.
Could be sidelined with knee issue
Capita is a doubt for the next match against Austin due to a knee injury, the club reported Friday.
Analysis: Capita is a fresh fitness concern after making five consecutive league starts and scoring his first goal of the campaign in the last of those matches. If this problem forced the attacker to miss time, the team will have to bring either Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov or Manu Garcia back into the lineup, with Calvin Harris likely deployed on the right wing. The full severity of Capita's injury is still unknown.
First MLS goal
Capita scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Capita finished a fast break with a goal at the back post Wednesday to open the scoring in Kansas City's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles. In addition to his goal, the versatile forward contributed two tackles (two won), one interception and one clearance to the defensive effort over his 45 minutes of play. After making his club debut as a substitute, Capita has been named to the starting XI in five consecutive league fixtures.
