JapanOn bench for Vancouver clash
Yoshida (knee) is on the bench in Saturday's contest versus Vancouver Whitecaps.
Analysis: Yoshida may reappear following a one-game absence, but he's likely to see few minutes in this matchup. Prior to the injury, he made three MLS starts in a row, scoring a goal and averaging 8.0 clearances per game over that period. He'll be a strong rival to Carlos Emiro Garces for a center-back spot in upcoming weeks.
Questionable with knee issue
Yoshida is a doubt for Sunday's clash against Real Salt Lake due to a knee injury, the MLS announced Saturday.
Analysis: Yoshida is a late concern for the Galaxy ahead of the 10th game of the season, and his absence would be a major blow given that he's a regular starter in defense. He's in decent form after tallying 24 clearances and scoring a goal over his last three appearances. However, if he fails to recover from the issue, his place could be taken by Carlos Emiro Garces.
