In their upcoming match, the Caps will have to navigate several injuries and roster changes. Sam Adekugbe remains out with a calf strain, and Damir Kreilach is also sidelined due to an ankle injury. However, they will see the return of Bjorn Inge Utvik from suspension. New signing Cyprian Kachwele, brought in on a short-term contract, may also feature, while Giuseppe Bovalina is aiming for his first MLS appearance after starting in the 1-0 defeat to Cavalry in the Canadian Championship, where Ranko Veselinovic's own goal sent them to defeat, but they advanced on away goals. Recently, a 95th-minute penalty by Ryan Gauld earned them a draw in Seattle.
Miami faces even more significant absences, with stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Sergio Busquets confirmed out for the trip to Vancouver. Additionally, Shanyder Borgelin may miss the game due to a hamstring injury, Diego Gomez is dealing with an ankle sprain, and Federico Redondo is sidelined with an LCL injury. Robbie Robinson has a knee issue, Facundo Farias is out for the year with a torn ACL, though Ian Fray is nearing a return from a similar injury. Jordi Alba, who recently started for the first time since his hamstring injury, and Leonardo Campana, who scored his third MLS goal last weekend, will be key players. Drake Callender will aim to continue his impressive form in goal, having secured back-to-back clean sheets.
