SJ EarthquakesSuspension over
Roberts is back from suspension following his absence in the midweek meeting with Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Roberts will look to return immediately to the initial lineup, having played a consistent role during the 2026 campaign. In that case, the defender could perform close to his averages of 4.3 clearances, 3.9 balls recovered and 1.7 tackles per game. He has also scored two goals over his last five appearances, which somewhat makes up for the team's defensive weakness. Both Dave Romney and Max Floriani will be at risk of moving to substitute spots with Roberts back in contention.
Suspended vs Galaxy
Roberts has been handed a one match suspension and will not face the Galaxy on Wednesday.
Analysis: Roberts picked up his fifth yellow card of the season and will serve a one‑match ban on Wednesday. He's scored twice across his last five appearances and has started all 18 matches for San Jose in 2026. With him unavailable, Dave Romney is likely to step into the back line.
Scores in deadlock
Roberts scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Roberts found the back of the net in Saturday's match against the Galaxy. It was his second goal of the season and his second in the last three outings. The defender has started all 16 of his league appearances, providing a consistent presence at the back while tallying 74 clearances, 13 blocks, and 27 tackles.
Scores in loss to Dallas
Roberts scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Roberts excelled in both boxes as he racked up seven clearances and achieved his team's second goal in an 81st-minute set play during the defeat. It was his 13th league start of the year, and the goal opened his direct contributions count over that period. However, he's a more consistent source of defensive stats as part of a four-man back line, averaging 4.9 clearances, 1.5 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per contest while tallying five clean sheets in the early stage of the season.
