Sporting KCUnused substiture Wednesday
Borges (groin) was an unused substitute in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against LA Galaxy, confirming his return to the matchday squad after missing three weeks of activity with an injury.
Analysis: Borges has been back in practice ahead of the Galaxy fixture and his inclusion in the squad is a clean bill of health heading into upcoming fixtures. The central defender has made two league starts this season, recording at least five clearances in each, and his return gives Sporting Kansas City more defensive options to complement current starters Ethan Bartlow and Wyatt Meyer as the MLS season progresses.
Back in training
Borges (groin) has returned to practice ahead of the midweek game against Los Angeles Galaxy, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Borges could be in contention soon after missing three weeks of activity due to his injury. The central defender has made two league starts this season, racking up at least five clearances in each of those contests. If he returns for upcoming matches, he'll add an option in the competition with current starters Ethan Bartlow and Wyatt Meyer.
Uncertain with groin issue
Borges is facing a late decision on his availability for Saturday's visit to Chicago as he looks to recover from a groin injury, the club reported Friday.
Analysis: Borges is at risk of dropping out of the squad after making his first two starts of the season alongside Ethan Bartlow at center-back. If the youngster is not ready for the next games, his place could be covered by Jansen Miller, who could absorb his clearance production.
