Durkin has ultimately been ruled out ahead of Saturday's visit to Minnesota while in concussion protocol, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis:Durkin appeared to have avoided an important issue after coach Yoann Damet said the midfielder is fine earlier in the week, but the blow he picked up in the midweek draw with Vancouver proved serious enough to sideline him. He'll have to clear the mandatory protocol before being ready to feature again, so his availability for the club's following fixtures is uncertain. Defender Dante Polvara could be deployed in midfield to cover for Durkin's absence, with Miguel Perez and Tomas Ostrak offering more offensive-minded alternatives.
