Expected back for Minnesota
Diaz has served his one match suspension and will make the trip to Colorado on Wednesday.
Analysis: Diaz served a suspension against Houston and is expected to return to Minnesota's starting XI at center back. He's started 22 of 25 matches, producing 84 clearances and 36 tackles while keeping four clean sheets.
Handed ban
Diaz generated one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Seattle Sounders FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 28th minute that will see him serve a one match suspension.
Analysis: Diaz will serve his second suspension of the season after picking up his ninth yellow card on the campaign. On the defensive side of things, he's recorded 16 clearances with two blocks, seven tackles and seven interceptions in the last seven matches. His absence will open an opportunity for Nicolas Romero to earn the star versus Houston on Oct 10
