Set for suspension
Navarro will serve a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation and will miss the clash against San Diego on July 22 following the World Cup break, according to the league.
Analysis: Navarro won't be an option for the clash following the World Cup break due to suspension, with Jackson Travis expected to take on a larger role in the back line during his absence. Navarro will be set to return to the starting lineup once the suspension has been served and MLS action continues after the tournament.
Fit for bench role
Navarro (muscular) is on the bench in Saturday's meeting against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Navarro will have a chance to play despite the blow that prevented him from completing his team's last cup match against San Jose. His potential will be limited though, as it's unclear if he can get plenty of minutes as a substitute, with Jackson Travis now chosen at left-back. In any case, the Venezuelan has focused on defensive tasks while being prone to disciplinary issues in his most recent appearances.
First clean sheet with team
Miguel Navarro generated two tackles (zero won), seven clearances and one interception in Wednesday's 1-0 victory versus Minnesota United.
Analysis: Navarro delivered a strong defensive performance to help secure his first clean sheet with his side, contributing seven clearances, one interception and two tackles. The left back has now made four consecutive starts since returning from a hamstring injury. Across those matches, he has recorded four tackles, two interceptions and 14 clearances, while also contributing five crosses and creating two chances going forward.
On bench midweek
Navarro (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's game versus Los Angeles FC.
Analysis: Navarro missed just one match with a muscular issue after being suspended in a previous contest, and he'll look to finally bounce back to the field in upcoming action. The defender has been used as a left-back, providing an assist in one of his two starts of the current campaign. He's expected to remain in contention with Jackson Travis going forward.
