Clears ban
Kikanovic has served his one match suspension and will make the trip to Austin on Saurday.
Analysis: Kikanovic is likely to return to the starting XI against Austin on Saturday after missing the Houston trip due to suspension. Since the World Cup break, he's started four matches, making 17 clearances and winning two tackles in that span.
Will miss trip to HOU
Kikanovic registered two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 5-1 defeat versus Minnesota United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute and is set for a one match suspension.
Analysis: Kikanovic has picked up his fifth yellow card in seven matches, ruling him out of the clash with Houston. He was expected to start, so Jack Jasinski will likely step into the XI in his place. The defender has started all 17 appearances, a huge upgrade following his subpar 2025 season.
