2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sviatchenko had a mediocre 2024 season, but there was at least some positive progression from 2023. The Danish defender produced seven clean sheets, netted a goal and delivered three assists (including playoffs). In 2023, he didn't have a goal contribution and produced just four clean sheets. After starting 31 matches last season including the playoffs, he should begin 2025 as a regular with the hope he continues getting work on set pieces after reaching 21 shots on target a year ago.
Back on injury report
Sviatchenko (lower body) is out for Saturday's trip to San Diego, per the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Sviatchenko isn't an option for Saturday's clash with San Diego. This comes after he returned to the starting XI less than two weeks prior. The defender is now back on the sideline, which should bring Obafemi Awodesu back into the starting XI.
