Bench option against Vancouver
Luiz (not injury related) is on the bench for the weekend's match versus Vancouver Whitecaps.
Analysis: Luiz will be able to make his Kansas City debut after solving his visa issues prior to Saturday's game. It's unclear when he'll make the starting lineup, but he's a strong alternative to Capita on the right flank, having stood out with seven goals and five assists over 19 games in his previous experience in the Portuguese league with Rio Ave.
Won't play Sunday
Luiz won't be available for Sunday's game against Atlanta United due to visa issues.
Analysis: Luiz joined Sporting KC on a club-record deal on Aug. 18, but he's not ready to play since he needs to sort out his visa-related paperwork. When available, he's widely expected to start right away.
