In the last few games, the Los Angeles Galaxy have been without one of the forwards. Young, Brazilian scorer Matheus Nascimento not only sat out against the Colorado Rapids last month, but he also missed the Third-Place Match of the 2025 Leagues Cup against Orlando City SC.
The LA Galaxy play the Houston Dynamo on Saturday. While it remains to be seen if Nascimento will return on for the LA Galaxy's next match, the defending MLS Cup champions will be without another key star.
Forward Joseph Paintsil was recently called up to Ghana's National Team.
