Ronald Hernandez - Back in training Hernandez (leg) returned to full team training during Tuesday's session, according to his club.

Impact Hernandez might be back far sooner than one might expect if he's already training with his teammates. Though George Campbell's recent adductor injury creates another absence in defense, Hernandez could have more to do with keeping Luiz Araujo further up the pitch instead of playing as a wing-back.

Caleb Wiley - Moving up pitch Wiley is being considered as a left winger ahead of Saturday's trip to Chicago, according to manager Gonzalo Pineda via Doug Roberson of the AJC.

Impact Wiley has mostly played as a left-back or left-wing-back but the return of Andrew Gutman necessitates a move in order to keep both in the team. As Wiley has recorded 19 crosses and created five chances in his last eight starts, he may get pushed up the pitch and have an even better chance of generating good fantasy value. This will be something to watch if he gets his first opportunity as a true attacker against the Fire.
