Jason Steele - Saves PK, allows three versus Forest Steele made three saves, including a penalty and conceded three goals during Wednesday's 3-1 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Steele had a great start in his return from injury, stopping Brennan Johnson's penalty shot in the 11th minute but then saw the opposition scoring three times to get a come-from-behind win. The goalkeeper wasn't at fault for any of the goals, though, and he also has a lot of credit after a very productive stretch since winning the starting spot over Robert Sanchez. Steele will try to bounce back during Saturday's home clash against Wolves.

Facundo Valentin Buonanotte - Will start Wednesday Buonanotte will start Wednesday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Robert De Zerbi.

Impact It looks like De Zerbi will mix things up Wednesday on a short week, at least at one position. Buonanotte, at 18 years old, has played just 54 minutes in league play since joining the club in January. In a start back in February in the FA Cup, he had two shots in 69 minutes against Stoke City.
