There almost isn't a need for the official injury report to be out from FC Dallas this week. We know the usual suspects will be on the list (Coy Craft and Stephen Keel) but the bigger question will certainly resolve around the center back tandem of Zach Loyd and Matt Hedges. If you look at the depth chart, it leaves just one healthy center back available for Saturday's clash against the defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy.

According to the club, Loyd has missed training this week but he was doing some rehab work on the side today. Hedges returned to training on Thursday after sitting out the last two days.

Hedges seems pretty likely at this point to start on Saturday based on various tweets going out today. Steve Hunt at the Dallas Morning news was able to get quotes from Oscar Pareja on the matter that state his hamstring is improving.

Loyd, on the other hand, will likely miss a couple weeks here. There is no official report from the club and considering how they have handled talking about injuries in the past, I wouldn't imagine any formal announcement on Loyd's status to come out.

So what will happen this week? My gut tells me Pareja will go one of two ways depending on Hedges. If our captain is good to go, we'll see a fairly familiar back four starting against the Galaxy with Hedges and Walker Zimmerman in the middle.

If Hedges isn't able to go or Pareja opts to rest him for a week, then my gut tells me we'll get a duo of Zimmerman and Je-Vaughn Watson in the middle with Atiba Harris returning to right back. Pareja used Watson in the middle once last season, so it isn't that far-fetched.

What do you expect to see used on Saturday?
