Est. Return 7/22/2026
Suffering from injury
Calheira is out for Thursday's match against St. Louis due to an ankle injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
ANALYSIS
Calheira is a new name on Sporting KC's report this matchday with an ankle injury, surfacing just as the league resumes after the World Cup break. He's a younger player working his way into the Kansas City setup without established fantasy relevance at this stage, although he did earn three straight starts heading into the break. Manu Garcia will likely return to the starting XI with Calheira out.
