In picking a starting lineup for Tuesday’s game with Real Salt Lake, Galaxy coach Curt Onalfo would be well served by first considering who can’t play before deciding who should.
Captain Jelle Van Damme is out because of a suspension. Forwards Gio dos Santos and Gyasi Zardes are on international duty. And nine others sat out Saturday’s loss to San Jose because of injury.
But Onalfo has his fingers crossed that as many as four players from that last group could be available for Tuesday’s StubHub Center game (7:30 p.m., Spectrum SN, Spectrum Deportes).
