Hector Villalba and Kenwyne Jones have filled in at striker in place of Martinez in the past nine games. Three of Villalba’s five goals have come at striker. Jones scored two in his four games at striker.

Martinez, 24, is tied for second on the team with five goals. They were scored in the season’s first three games.

Martinez was acquired on loan from Torino in Italy. The loan was announced as permanent following Atlanta United’s third game.

Martino said there’s a chance that midfielder Jacob Peterson, out since the fourth game, will travel to Vancouver.

Fullback Mark Bloom has a virus that may prevent him from being considered for the 18.
