Los Angeles Galaxy will be without Spanish midfielder Riqui Puig, who is still sidelined due to an ACL injury from December.

Aside from any last-minute fitness issues, Puig is the only confirmed absentee for LA Galaxy, allowing head coach Vanney to select from a nearly full-strength squad on Thursday.

For San Jose Earthquakes, manager Arena cannot include the midfield duo of Niko Tsakiris and 20-year-old Englishman Noel Buck, both ruled out due to injuries.

First-choice goalkeeper Daniel has missed the last two games since getting injured against New England Revolution on May 18, and the 31-year-old is unavailable for the visitors.

Veteran forward Cristian Arango will sit out his fourth consecutive game because of a muscle injury and will not participate in Wednesday's matchup.

Possible starting lineup for Los Angeles Galaxy:

Micovic; Yamane, Yoshida, Garces, Nelson; Cerrillo, Sanabria, Reus; Pec, Fagundez, Paintsil

Possible starting lineup for San Jose Earthquakes:

Edwards Jr; Floriani, Romney, Munie; Jones, Harkes, Leroux, Costa; Espinoza, Munoz, Martinez
