Julio (lower leg) is out for Sunday's game against New England.
Analysis: Julio hasn't played for FC Dallas since suffering an injury in the Leagues Cup in early August. There's no timetable for the return of the Ecuadorian attacker, who has been limited to just four appearances off the bench in the 2026 MLS season.
Forced off Wednesday
Julio abandoned Wednesday's Leagues Cup clash against Queretaro with an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: Julio started as a center-forward with his side making some rotation in the Leagues Cup opener, but he suffered the injury within the first 20 minutes of play, causing regular starter Petar Musa to enter the field. The former Real Salt Lake striker has already missed a great stretch of the 2026 campaign due to a lower leg issue, making this new blow a real concern given the risk of a setback. Even if the injury is not significant, he might continue to see limited action in the short term.
Returns in friendly
Julio (lower leg) played 20 minutes from the bench in a friendly against Orlando.
Analysis: Julio was back on the field as Dallas resumed play ahead of the MLS restart, as he featured in a friendly. It was a short-lived appearance from the bench, only getting 20 minutes. However, this is still positive as they regain an attacking option, although he has only played 27 minutes all season.
