Out after shoulder surgery
Bonetig underwent successful shoulder stabilization surgery and is expected to be sidelined for a spell, his club announced Wednesday.
Analysis: Bonetig's season could be over due to this issue, although the club didn't reveal an official timeline for his recovery. He was part of the center-back rotation at the beginning of the year but had been inactive since May due to a combination of coach's decisions and a previous upper body injury. During his short period as a starter, he scored a goal while tallying 33 clearances and 10 interceptions across eight MLS appearances. Both Kamal Miller and Joel Waterman will see increased action while Bonetig and Finn Surman (knee) are unavailable.
Bench option against Austin
Bonetig (upper body) is on the bench for Saturday's matchup versus Austin.
Analysis: Bonetig could be involved in MLS action for the first time in almost four months after missing the last few games due to the injury. However, he's not guaranteed to play a major role as he'll wait for an opportunity on the bench. Meanwhile, Finn Surman and Kamal Miller are set to remain active in the center-back slots.
