GALAXY AT FC DALLAS

When: 5:30 p.m. Saturday PDT.

Where: Toyota Stadium, Frisco, Texas.

On the air: TV: TWC SportsNet, TWC Deportes; Radio: 980, 1330.

Records: Galaxy 3-2-5, FC Dallas 5-2-2.

Record vs. Dallas (2014): 2-1-0.

Update: The Galaxy, without forward Robbie Keane, will face conference-leading Dallas. The league’s reigning MVP, Keane did not make the two-game road trip with the team and has missed the last five games because of a groin injury. The Galaxy is unbeaten over that span, but it hasn’t won outside StubHub Center since August. The Galaxy, so battered by injuries that no player has started all 10 games this season, welcomed midfielder Juninho and defender Robbie Rogers back to training in Dallas. Both were held out of the starting lineup for Wednesday’s scoreless draw against Real Salt Lake, Juninho because of illness and Rogers after being injured in last week’s tie with Colorado. FC Dallas, which is riding a three-match unbeaten streak, entered Friday leading the league in goals scored (15) and tied for third for most goals allowed (12).
