Team news & squads
San Jose Earthquakes team news
San Jose come into this match with a few key absentees. Defender Bruno Wilson is sidelined with a muscle injury and is expected to be out until mid-May. Midfielder Hernán López is also unavailable following abdominal surgery, with a similar return timeline.
There are no reported suspensions for the Earthquakes, but these injuries will test their squad depth as they look to build on recent attacking form.
Sacramento Republic FC team news
Sacramento Republic have been managing without a few important contributors due to injury, but the squad has shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches.
Notably, captain Rodrigo López recently returned from a long-term ACL injury and made an immediate impact, providing an assist in the previous Open Cup round. There are no major suspensions reported, and as injured players continue to return, Sacramento’s depth and confidence are on the rise.
