Out Wednesday
Kijima (leg) won't be an option for Wednesday's clash with RBNY, per the MLS Injury Report.
Analysis: Kijima isn't going to be an option for Wednesday's clash due to the leg injury that forced him off against Miami. Silvan Hefti came in to replace him and now projects to get the start during Wednesday's match. It's unclear if this injury will keep Kijima sidelined for a significant amount of time.
Forced off Saturday
Kijima suffered a potential leg injury during the second half of Saturday's match against Inter Miami.
Analysis: Kijima was unable to continue due to an apparent muscular problem and had to be replaced by Silvan Hefti after 68 minutes of a quiet performance on the right wing. The Japanese midfielder is now a serious doubt for the upcoming meeting with Red Bull New York in a double game week. He has been a rotational player lately, and his absence would impact the team's depth during the busy period.
Adds assist
Kijima assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Analysis: Kijima created a pair of chances and provided one assist during Saturday's draw. He sent in a pair of crosses and took four shots as well, but just couldn't break the deadlock. Kijima was excellent heading into the break and should be a big contributor during the run-in after the break.
