Uriel Antuna starts at striker for LA Galaxy with Zlatan Ibrahimovic out

Uriel Antuna - LA Galaxy - close-up

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic out for the second straight game for the LA Galaxy due to injury, comes a change up top for Saturday's clash against Minnesota United FC.


Uriel Antuna gets the nod at striker for the Galaxy, as an Achilles injury sidelines Ibrahimovic once again, as expected.

Antuna, 21, is making his third consecutive start for the Galaxy, since joining on loan in the offseason. The Santos Laguna academy product, a Mexico youth international, is under contract at Premier League giant Manchester City. Antuna has played as a wide attacker for the first two games of the season with LA, but with limited options at central striker for the club at the moment, Guillermo Barros Schelotto has opted to put the youngster in at striker against the Loons (10:30 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+ in US, DAZN in Canada).
