Roster Notes
- Goalkeeper Nico Hansen chases a personal single-season career high in shutouts on Saturday night. The 25-year-old shotstopper recorded his fifth clean sheet of the season on Wedneday night in the 1-0 victory over LAFC, the most of his career in a single season to date.Â
- Forward Rafael Navarro is one goal shy of tying Paul Bravo and Omar Cummings for the second most MLS regular season goals in club history, and one multi-goal game away from tying Paul Bravo for the most in club history.Â
- After recording his first start with the Rapids, midfielder Youssef Maziz remains on the gameday roster for the contest with San Diego. Maziz contributed to two of the last three goals for Colorado, first assisting Reggie Cannon against Sporting Kansas City and then sending in a free kick that was deflected into the back of the net against LAFC.
- Midfielder Nathan Tchoumba has earned a short-term call up to the first team for Saturday's match. In accordance with the 2026 MLS Roster Rules and Regulations, a club may sign a player, age 25 or younger during the league season, from its affiliate (MLS NEXT Pro) to a maximum of four Short-Term Agreements (up to four-day contracts) each season (maximum of 16 days). This is Tchoumba's second call up to the first team.
