Impact Almada has been one of the best players in MLS this season with four goals and a league-leading five assists through six appearances in attacking midfield, but he will be facing a fitness test in order to be available against Toronto on Saturday. With Franco Ibarra already suspended for the match, Santiago Sosa and Matheus Rossetto could make the XI as midfield replacements if necessary.

Brad Guzan - Expected to miss 8-12 weeks Guzan suffered a torn MCL during Saturday's 1-1 draw to New York City F.C and is set to miss between 8-12 weeks, reports the Athletic.

Impact This is not good news for Guzan, who was diagnosed with a torn MCL Saturday. The veteran goalkeeper missed most of last season with a torn Achilles, and is expected to miss most of this year with his latest injury. Despite allowing six goals against Columbus on March 25, he was performing well with two clean sheets and 14 saves in seven matches. This means that Quentin Westberg will take over the goalkeeping duties, who spent four seasons with Toronto and signed with Atlanta in the offseason to be Guzan's backup, with the arrival of Sean Johnson downgrading him to the third string keeper.
