San Diego FC will be without goalkeeper CJ Dos Santos at Q2 Stadium on Saturday night. Major League Soccer’s Matchday 28 status report lists him out on international duty with Cape Verde, along with five other San Diego players.
The MLS report for Saturday, Sept. 26, lists San Diego this way:
- Elias Achouri, international duty with Tunisia
- CJ Dos Santos, international duty with Cape Verde
- Amahl Pellegrino, lower body, out
- Gabriel Pirani, lower body, out
- Onni Valakari, international duty with Finland
- Sam Vines, lower body, out
Austin FC’s own match preview said Dos Santos made six saves in San Diego’s 2-2 draw with Inter Miami and was selected to the MLS Team of the Matchday, then would miss Saturday with Cape Verde. Anders Dreyer scored both San Diego goals in that draw, which the club said snapped a three-match losing streak. The preview lists Marcus Ingvartsen at 11 goals and five assists, and Dreyer at 11 goals and 11 assists.
Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. CT. The match had not been played when this note was published, so there is no score here. Austin’s availability list, including a questionable Brad Stuver, is in the Austin report. The clubs have one previous meeting at Q2 Stadium, a March 2025 Austin win with goals from Brandon Vazquez and Jon Gallagher, Austin’s preview said.
