On bench Wednesday
Capita (hamstring) is on the bench for the midweek contest against Nashville.
Analysis: Capita will aim to make his first competitive appearance since Sept. 6 after overcoming his injury, although he had not been too efficient in recent games before his absence, while both Andre Luiz and Taylor Calheira are now in good form. In any case, Capita will have a chance to see his playing time gradually increased if he avoids physical setbacks for the rest of the season.
Absent from injury report
Capita (hamstring) wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's trip to Nashville, per the SKC Injury Report.
Analysis: Capita isn't listed with an injury designation and could be ready to return after more than a month on the sideline. His status is still worth monitoring before the match, but if he's back fit, Capita would be a major boon in the starting XI.
Status uncertain due to injury
Capita is dealing with a hamstring discomfort that could force him to miss upcoming games, according to the league's injury report.
Analysis: Capita's muscular worry adds to what is a lengthy week 26 report for the club, generating them the risk of losing a regular starter on the wings. If he can play, he'll retain offensive value after logging nine shots and seven crosses over his last six starts. Otherwise, there could be a chance for Stephen Afrifa to gain minutes in a wide role.
Four crosses Sunday
Capita registered four crosses (zero accurate) and one clearance in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Atlanta United.
Analysis: Capita started on the right flank as per usual on Sunday, although it was a quieter match for him. He would only record four crosses and an interception in the loss, unable to get a single shot off. He then remains at three goal contributions this campaign, with his last coming four appearances ago.
Finds back of net
Capita scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Thursday's 3-2 defeat versus St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
Analysis: Capita came back to MLS play with a goal following the World Cup break, notching a goal in the 42nd minute despite the loss. This is only the forward's second goal of the season, although it is his second goal in his past four appearances. However, he continues to earn starting time, with eight straight starts leading back to April.
Starting after injury scare
Capita (knee) is in the initial lineup for Saturday's match against Austin.
Analysis: Capita was at risk of missing this game as he wasn't 100 percent physically, but he's ready to play a meaningful role Saturday. After scoring his first goal of the campaign midweek against LA Galaxy, he'll hope to build on the momentum while operating on the right wing. If he does stay in good form, he'll likely be selected over Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov or Manu Garcia going forward.
Could be sidelined with knee issue
Capita is a doubt for the next match against Austin due to a knee injury, the club reported Friday.
Analysis: Capita is a fresh fitness concern after making five consecutive league starts and scoring his first goal of the campaign in the last of those matches. If this problem forced the attacker to miss time, the team will have to bring either Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov or Manu Garcia back into the lineup, with Calvin Harris likely deployed on the right wing. The full severity of Capita's injury is still unknown.
First MLS goal
Capita scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Capita finished a fast break with a goal at the back post Wednesday to open the scoring in Kansas City's 3-1 victory over Los Angeles. In addition to his goal, the versatile forward contributed two tackles (two won), one interception and one clearance to the defensive effort over his 45 minutes of play. After making his club debut as a substitute, Capita has been named to the starting XI in five consecutive league fixtures.
