MLS Injury Report - Week 3

For the third week of the season, there are not many changes to the injury report. The biggest name being added is FC Dallas's Carlos Ruiz who will be out 2-3 weeks with a hamstring sprain.

The Crew add a third goalkeeper to their list. If current starter Jon Busch gets hurt, it's going to be an interesting time for the Crew.

DC United's Santino Quaranta is doubtful.

Defender Todd Dunivant is no longer on the list for LA. It might be too late for him to make a stab at the US national team, but he could bring something to the struggling Galaxy.

One name not on the list is New England's Steve Ralston who came off Tuesday's US-Jamaica match with a groin injury. Perhaps it was not as bad as first thought or maybe they are waiting to the last minute to decide. Still, I thought he would at least be listed as questionable.

Here is the full list.
