The Rapids face Los Angeles Football Club at Banc of California Stadium tonight for the first leg of the two-game series.
Axel Sjöberg is out for the game as he continues to recover from a knee injury he suffered on August 4. Sjöberg missed the home-win over San Jose Earthquakes and most recently the 2-2 road-tie with the Galaxy.
Rapids forward Giles Barnes is listed as questionable tonight with an ankle injury and has missed four games up to this point.
Kellyn Acosta (Illness), Sam Nicholson (back), Edgar Castillo (hamstring), Jack McBean (Achilles), and Jack Price (groin) are all listed as probable to feature tonight.
LAFC will be without goalkeeper Quillan Roberts (right fibular fracture), and midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye (fractured ankle). Adama Diomande is listed questionable with left hamstring irritation.
Tonight’s game kicks off at 8:00 PM MT and will be broadcast on local outlets Altitude TV, Altitude AM 950 (English) and La Invasora 87.7 FM (Spanish).
