Taken to hospital with concussion
Samassekou left the pitch in an ambulance and was taken to the hospital after being subbed off under concussion protocol in Saturday's 1-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps.
Analysis: Samassekou suffered a nasty blow to the head during the first half of Saturday's game, and while he was reported to be conscious as he left the stadium, his condition will need to be monitored in upcoming days. He's an important player for the Dynamo, and losing him would force a change in their usual midfield, with Agustin Bouzat and Hector Herrera offering replacement options.
Keeps clean sheet Saturday
Samassekou generated one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Samassekou kept his first clean sheet of the season Saturday, recording one tackle and one clearance on the defensive end of the pitch. He also put one shot on target on the attack, his first of the campaign. He completed the full 90 minutes for just the second time this season, helping Houston secure an important home victory.
