Back in starting XI Saturday

Quinton (groin) has been included in the starting lineup Saturday versus Los Angeles FC.

Analysis: Quinton is ready to play following a short injury period, and his return is quite timely for a squad that is now missing Sam Junqua (concussion) and Justen Glad (groin). The 26-year-old made four successive MLS starts before getting hurt, averaging 6.3 clearances per contest but failing to earn a clean sheet over that span.

Doubtful with adductor discomfort

Quinton is a late decision heading into the MLS week 23 clash against Colorado Rapids after sustaining an adductor injury, the league announced Friday.

Analysis: Quinton had been a regular starter until he stayed on the bench in an Aug. 22 meeting with Orlando, after which he apparently got hurt. He could bounce back into a starting spot given Lukas Engel's (leg) possible absence, but if both defenders are forced to miss time, there will be a chance for Sam Junqua to join Juan Jose Arias in the back line.
