Chivas USA will be able to call on goalkeeper Dan Kennedy for the club's match up against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Head Coach Martin Vasquez will require a big performance from his backup goalkeeper as Chivas USA looks to break its recent four-game losing streak.
Kennedy had been unavailable since suffering a muscle strain in his hamstring in early May. League pool goalkeeper Kevin Guppy will back up Kennedy after first choice goalkeeper Zach Thornton was suspended due to a red card in the 90th minute of the Rojiblancos 2-1 defeat to D.C. United on Saturday.
Here are some more stories from around the Western Conference:
McCARTY FACES FITNESS TEST FOR SAN JOSE
FC Dallas midfielder Dax McCarty is questionable for the club's weekend match against the San Jose Earthquakes. The midfielder suffered a hip pointer injury during F.C. Dallas' 1-1 draw vs. the Chicago Fire. McCarty has been training lightly with Dallas and will need to improve quickly before the team takes on San Jose.
SOUNDERS SIGN MICHAEL SEAMON
The Seattle Sounders came to terms on Wednesday with second round draft pick Michael Seamon. The versatile midfielder from Villanova has recently returned to the Sounders after earning his degree in Criminal Justice. Seamon scored his first goal in a Sounders uniform during the 3-0 Sounders victory over Argentine giant Boca Juniors last week.
REAL SALT LAKE TO VISIT WHITE HOUSE TOMORROW
Defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake will get its moment with the President on Friday when the club visits President Barack Obama for the traditional Presidential congratulations.

Can Kennedy help the Rojiblancos beat the Red Bulls? Will McCarty return for FC Dallas ahead of the vital game against the Earthquakes? Will Michael Seamon become an impact player for the Rave Green? Excited to see Barack Obama take his picture next to Kyle Beckerman?

I don’t like Seamon playing in my net…
I’m expecting Seamon to fill in Vagenas’ spot
nah its a very sticky situation over there.
not sure Seamon is going to help clean up the mess in Seattle
hell yeah seamon can put it between my posts.
I expect seamon to come up big.
rimshot!
Can we expect Seamon to back up Vagenas this weekend?
Not if I was a big European team, but honestly yes any Mexican or MLS team would love to have Bornstein
Bornstein isn’t going anywhere. Would you want him?
Nice one JJ. But the most homoerotic soccer comment I heard this week came from the San Jose commentator during the game with the Crew. Of Steven Lenhart and his blond afropuff ponytail the announcer said “Lenhart kind of looks like a wild horse out there galloping freely in a pasture.” Lenhart had just made a couple of physical challenges. I almost peed.
Presumably he’s waiting to see if they are legit before unleashing a rumor on SBI Nation.
I just read on wikipedia on Jonny B’s page that Bornstein is going to Atlante FC?? If these things are true where is IVES??
Yeah…anyone hear about this?
I love Seamon!
Kljestan to RSC Anderlecht?
Cool that Seamon is back with the team.
