SAN JOSE — The Earthquakes won’t have starting center backs Paulo Renato and Victor Bernardez available for the game Sunday against the Chicago Fire that will officially open Avaya Stadium.

Coach Dominic Kinnear said Renato is out after pulling a hamstring muscle during the team’s 3-2 victory over Seattle last weekend. Bernardez already was suspended after receiving a red card early in the second half Saturday against Sounders FC.

Kinnear said this week he might look to star central defender Clarence Goodson, who has returned from a toe injury that limited his training throughout the preseason. The Quakes’ other options are Ty Harden and center midfielder JJ Koval, who moved to the backline after Bernardez’ ejection.

San Jose also doesn’t expect to have midfielder Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi, who pulled a quadriceps muscle that kept him out of the Seattle game. But forwards Steven Lenhart and Mike Fucito returned to training this week. Lenhart, who missed the entire preseason while recovering from a knee injury, could make the 18-man roster for the home opener.

In another development, defender Brandon Barklage and the Earthquakes have mutually agreed to part ways. Barklage, 28, appeared in 13 games last season as a right fullback. But he lost out this year to new arrival Marvell Wynne, who has played well in the Quakes’ first two games. San Jose (1-1-0) probably will count on Cordell Cato and Harden as possible fill ins when Wynne is unavailable.
