Andrew Privett - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Starts at Austin Privett (knee) is part of his team's starting lineup to face Austin FC on Saturday.

Impact Privett is available as expected after avoiding a significant issue, so he could deliver his usual defensive output in this game. With Privett getting the nod at center-back, Bill Tuiloma will have to wait for an opportunity as a substitute.

Injury not serious Privett underwent tests on his knee Thursday that revealed that his injury is nothing serious, per Carroll Walton of the Charlotte Ledger.

Impact Privett had a scary moment Wednesday where he felt something in his knee and was forced off against Columbus. Luckily, it does not look like it is anything to worry about ahead of Saturday's final game before the Leagues Cup break. The defender had played in every minute of every match prior to Wednesday, averaging about four clearances per contest.

Injured knee Privett subbed out in the 73rd minute Wednesday with a knee injury. According to head coach Dean Smith, he "felt his knee open up slightly", per Nicky Wolcott of The Observer.

Impact Privett had to be taken off before the match ended with knee discomfort. This could leave him out for Saturday's match, especially after starting every match for Charlotte this season. If this is the case, the Bill Tuiloma and Adilson Malanda could be the pair to start at center back for the clash with Austin.

Another solid display Privett made two tackles (one won), nine clearances and one block while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's 2-0 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Privett was dominant at the heart of the defense once again, pacing all players in clearances and imposing his will against opposing forward most of the time to help his team shutting the opposition down for the seventh time over the last 10 matches. Ranking third in clearances and ninth in blocks among all MLS players this season, the center-back is a must-have fantasy piece right now.

Solid defensively Privett recorded two tackles (two won) and five clearances in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Orlando City SC.

Impact Privett was his usual imposing self in the backline, piling on defensive volume in a tough draw. The center-back will never offer much with the ball or going forward, but he's an effective defender and Charlotte's improved defense can give him decent chances at a clean sheet occasionally. Privett seems set as a mainstay in the backline as long as he can stay fit.
