Won't play Saturday
Foster was listed as out for Saturday's visit to Charlotte for reasons not related to injury.
Analysis: Foster signed with Houston in the final days of the transfer window with the aim of becoming their starting striker, but his debut for the club will have to wait at least a few days. While the nature of his absence hasn't been revealed, it's likely he's still dealing with visa issues. After making 89 appearances for Burnley in recent Premier League and Championship seasons, the striker will offer offensive value and could be one of the most dangerous center-forwards in the Eastern Conference once he's ready to play. Until then, Duncan McGuire will be expected to lead the front line.
Joins Houston on loan
Foster has joined Houston Dynamo on loan from Burnley through June 2027, with an option for a permanent transfer, according to the club.
Analysis: Foster brings extensive experience from English football to Houston after making 89 league appearances for Burnley across the Premier League and Championship. The South Africa international recorded three goals and two assists in 26 Premier League appearances last season and offers a combination of pace, physicality and ability to attack space behind defenses. The 25-year-old should immediately compete for a prominent role at center-forward as Houston strengthen their attack for the remainder of the MLS campaign.
