Before the first match of the season, Houston Dynamo head coach Wilmer Cabrera hinted that everyone on the team had to be ready to play their part during the season. A mixture of injuries and international absences have given him some early looks at that depth after the first month of play.
Goalkeeper Joe Willis (right knee) has been out since late preseason and defenders Agus (left hamstring) and George Malki (left ACL), midfielder Juan David Cabezas (concussion), and forward Romell Quioto (dislocated shoulder) have since joined him on the injury list.
