On bench Saturday

Samassekou (concussion) is among the substitutes for the weekend visit to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Analysis: Samassekou suffered an alarming injury that landed him in the hospital last week, but it appears to have been just a scare, as the midfielder is available immediately. However, his playing time will be managed against the Galaxy while Hector Herrera gets the nod alongside Jack McGlynn in central midfield.

Released from hospital

Samassekou (concussion) has been released from hospital and is back home after being taken to hospital under concussion protocol following a nasty blow to the head during Saturday's 1-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps, according to the club.

Analysis: Samassekou had left the pitch in an ambulance during the first half, raising serious concerns about his wellbeing, but the news of his discharge from hospital is a significant relief for both player and club. His availability for upcoming fixtures will depend entirely on clearing concussion protocol, with Houston monitoring his condition closely before making any decisions on his return to training and competitive action.
