LA GalaxyServes his suspension
Glesnes has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the clash with FC Dallas on Saturday.
Analysis: Glesnes has been a consistent starter since returning from injury, appearing in each of the Galaxy's last seven matches. During that stretch, he's contributed 36 clearances, 11 tackles, and five interceptions, reinforcing his importance to the back line. He will likely feature again in the starting XI on Saturday vs Dallas.
Set for suspension
Glesnes picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 71st minute of Wednesday's match, triggering a suspension that will rule him out of the weekend clash against San Jose, according to the Galaxy Podcast.
Analysis: Glesnes' absence is a blow for the Galaxy since he is an undisputed starter in the back line and it will open the door for Justin Haak to step into central defense in his place for that fixture. Glesnes should be available to regain his regular role once the one match ban is served against Dallas on Aug. 1.
Starts Sunday
Glesnes (calf) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Real Salt Lake.
Analysis: Glesnes has regained full fitness after sitting out the previous five MLS games, and he's making an immediate appearance in place of Maya Yoshida, who is now dealing with a knee injury. The former Philadelphia Union player could be relied on for his season average of 7.3 clearances per game, but his team has little clean sheet chances after allowing multiple goals in four of their last five official matches.
