Impact Bernabe will be sidelined for a substantial amount of time and is tentatively expected to return in January, but that will hinge on how the rehab goes. Nahuel Estevez, Anas Haj Mohamed (ankle), and Hernani (thigh) will absorb his minutes in the midfield. The coach could also decide to deploy Simon Sohm there more regularly, opening up minutes at the no.10 role, where they have a few options.
