Won't play Wednesday Powell (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's match against Atlanta, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Powell did not train Monday, leaving him questionable for Wednesday's match. However, it is now known he won't play due to his hamstring issues. This leaves the club with neither of their regular right-backs to take the field, likely forcing Bret Halsey into the starting XI. He will now look for a return in the club's next match, hoping he can overcome his issues within the next couple of days.

Doesn't train Monday Powell (hamstring) didn't train Monday and is unlikely to play Wednesday against Atlanta United, Laurel Pfahler of The Queen City Press reports.

Impact Powell hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's clash. Still, the fact that he didn't take part in training two days before the game after already missing out on the previous contest with a muscular problem reduces his chances of playing to almost zero. If Powell is out and DeAndre Yedlin (undisclosed) can't feature either, then Bret Halsey could be an option to play as right wing-back.

Scores own goal in ECF loss Powell registered an own goal and one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Columbus Crew.

Impact Powell scored an own goal Saturday, an unfortunate bounce off him off a Columbus cross in the 75th minute, a goal which sparked Columbus' comeback win. It was a brutal way to end the season for Powell, especially given he played a decent match outside of the mistake as he recorded season highs in clearances (five) and blocked shots (three). He finishes the season with one assist and three clean sheets in 27 appearances (12 starts).

On grass Powell (leg) is on the grass training individually, per FC Cincinnati Beat writer Pat Brennan.

Impact Powell has a few weeks to recover before the conference semi-finals, having missed the last two matches with a leg injury.

Questionable to play Saturday Powell has been listed as questionable for Saturday's match against the NY Red Bulls due to a leg injury.

Impact Santiago Arias (leg) is expected to return to the starting lineup Saturday, so there's a chance Powell won't play even if he's healthy. He already missed the series opener against New York, however, and the team might not risk him. Powell has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, so his absence is not likely to affect many fantasy decisions.

Impact Powell returned from his red-card suspension and had some kind of redemption here, assisting Dominique Badji for his side's first goal in the 25th minute and generating much more from the right flank. The full-back can be even more dangerous when used one line ahead as part of the midfield and he'll hope this helps him to get significant playing time during the upcoming playoffs.

Impact Powell was solid defensively but his biggest contribution came on the other side of the pitch as he assisted Brenner for the goal that drew things level at 1-1 just before halftime. This was the third assist over 25 appearances (20 starts) for the left-back, who isn't being much of a fantasy factor so far this season.

Logs assist in draw Powell logged one assist from one chance created in 53 minutes of Saturday's 4-4 draw with Inter Miami

Impact Powell recorded his second assist of the season but a high-flying match saw him limited in how far into the contest he could play. He hasn't made a great habit of getting regularly involved in the attack, so it's not a save bet to rely on Powell when Alvaro Barreal and Luciano Acosta tend to take on the bulk of the creative work.
