Thomas Müller

Analysis: Muller is fit enough to play after dealing with a minor issue, so he'll take his usual No. 10 role in upcoming games. The experienced attacker was in decent form before getting hurt, tallying three goals and two assists across his last eight matches played in all competitions. Muller's continuity in the initial lineup for the resumption of MLS play would lead to less activity for Ryan Gauld.

Exits with dead leg

Muller was substituted during Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship after taking a knock to his thigh that left him with a dead leg, with coach Jesper Sorensen confirming afterward that the issue is not considered serious, according to AFTN Canada.

Analysis: Muller's exit appears to be precautionary given the minor nature of the knock, and the timing within a Canadian Championship fixture likely made the club more comfortable removing him early rather than risking a longer term issue. His status for Vancouver's next match should become clearer as the week progresses, though the coach's assurance that he is fine suggests little risk of an extended absence.
