Phoenix playing Las Vegas in USL catch up game today. Win this and they go equal top of Western Conference with Orange County.
Unfortunately Musa is out injured. Hopefully nothing serious as he would be a huge loss for them, if he is unavailable in the playoffs.
Twitter account gives little away.

Comments post game against Reno 1868.
On ankle injury to James Musa:
"They're going to have some scans tomorrow, and we'll know more about
it. You can't really tell right now. Maybe a small sprain, we're not
sure. We'll know more tomorrow."
Phoenix's last game is at home vs Cameron Knowles Timbers II on the weekend.
Whilst Orange County have a tough road game at Reno 1868.
Looks like USL Conference quarterfinals are straight knock out, top seeds with home advantage. 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6 & 4 v 5.
Musaless Phoenix lose to Las Vegas (15th) 5-2 in sin city. They were up 2-1 at HT!
They are unlikely to finish top now. Even if they win on the weekend and Orange County (OC) lose, OC has +6 better GD.
Undoubtedly when Musa plays DM for Phoenix, they are far harder to beat. Like Tuiloma, appears too good for the USL. Wonder if any MLS teams are looking at him. Rapids have some problems in midfield!!
Also new team FC Cincinnati (stand out USL side in 2018), join MLS next year.
Miami & Nashville join in 2020.
