LOS ANGELES -- The LA Galaxy slipped in the MLS Power Rankings presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment after their 2-0 defeat to FC Dallas.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romain Alessandrini sidelined due to injury, Guillermo Barros Schelotto's squad fell in their first road trip of the 2019 campaign. The Galaxy return to action on Saturday when they host Minnesota United FC at Dignity Health Sports Park.

ESPN FC: 11th
Would things have been different in Frisco if Zlatan wasn't back in L.A. nursing an injury? Would Guillermo Barros Schelotto be two-for-two with six points to start his career in MLS? Would the Efrain Alvarez hype train have picked up even more steam? Would the entry for the Galaxy this week include fewer unanswerable questions? We'll never know.
So Zlatan couldn't play? No problem, they've got Ola Kama--oh, hang on a second. That transfer of Kamara to China may have been best for the player, but if Ibrahimovic can't play nearly all the games the rest of the way, the lack of forward depth is truly glaring for the Galaxy.
