Liel Abada - Questionable with thigh issues Abada is in question for Saturday's match against Portland due to a thigh problem, according to the MLS injury report.
Impact Abada looks to be a game-time call for Saturday after picking up a thigh issue mid-week. This could be an issue for the club, as he has started in their past four matches, with Patrick Agyemang being his likely replacement if not an option. However, they will still hope he can play, likely grabbing the start if this is the case.

Bill Tuiloma - Won't play Saturday Tuiloma won't play Saturday against Portland due to a hamstring injury, manager Dean Smith told media Thursday.
Impact Smith revealed Tuiloma felt the hamstring problem last week, and the center-back is tabbed for a spell on the sidelines, though it's unclear how much time he'll miss despite Smith saying the issue is not likely to be a long-term injury. Tuiloma has made just two starts this season, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

Scott Arfield - Back with group Arfield (back) has been training with the team Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match versus Portland, reports Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ.
Impact Arfield is on pace to make a return Saturday after missing the last two matches with a back injury. He had previously started three of the last five games, totaling just five shots and three chances created in that span. If he is ruled for for Saturday, then the midfielder will likely start off the bench, with Nikola Petkovic expected to remain in the lineup.

Benjamin Bender - Trains Wednesday Bender (knee) was back with the main group in training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Portland, per Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ.
Impact Bender is very close to making his season debut after missing the first 10 matches with a knee injury. His injury dates back to September, as he continues to work up to fitness after being away from the pitch for the last seven months, If all goes well in training, the midfielder could get the call to squad this month, at minimum.

Kerwin Vargas - Strong finish to April Vargas scored one goal on two shots (two on goal) during Charlotte FC's 2-1 loss Saturday at New York City.
Impact Contrary to March, Vargas was an effective goalscorer during April, a month in which he logged two goals. The 22-year-old will look to take that positive momentum going into May.

Brandon Cambridge - Nearing return Cambridge (ankle) is nearing a return to training, according to manager Dean Smith.
Impact Cambridge could be back in training within the next week, and is working back from the ankle injury as expected. The forward likely won't take a major role even when fully fit, but still this progression in his return from injury is a great sign that he should be back in mid-May, as expected.

Kerwin Vargas - Available Saturday Vargas is available for Saturday's clash with NYC FC, and was training alone due to maintenance, according to manager Dean Smith.
Impact Vargas was originally training off to the side Thursday, casting some doubt over his availability against NYC FC. It appears the injury isn't of real concern though, as Vargas is expected to be a full go for Saturday's match.

Benjamin Bender - Yet to return to training Bender (quadriceps) hasn't returned to training and has no timetable for his return, according to TopBin90.
Impact Bender was expected to see action with the Crown Legacy before the end of the month, but it seems the midfielder is a bit behind in his rehab schedule. As things stand now, there's no clear timetable for his return, but he is expected to miss at least the next two or three MLS matches at a bare minimum.

Kerwin Vargas - Training away from group Thursday Vargas (undisclosed) was spotted in training Thursday but was seen doing individual drills away from the group, Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ reports.
Impact It's unclear if Vargas is dealing with an injury, but this was the second consecutive day he was training away from the rest of the group. It remains to be seen whether he'll be available to face New York City FC on Saturday.
APRIL 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Scott Arfield - Spotted in training Thursday Arfield (undisclosed) was spotted in training Thursday but was seen doing individual drills away from the group, Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ reports.
Impact Arfield picked up an undisclosed injury during warmups prior to last week's game against Minnesota United, but the club has not released any report regarding his status. In any case, the fact that Arfield is training away from the group suggests his chances of playing Saturday against NYCFC are slim at the moment.
APRIL 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nathan Byrne - Trains Wednesday Byrne (not injury related) completed parts of training Wednesday, according to Will Palaszczuk.
Impact Byrne appears to be back with the team following his green card issues, as he is now on the training pitch. This is great news for the club, as he is viewed as a regular starter when with the team. With that being said, he should return to play Saturday against NYCFC, although it may not come until May 4 against Portland, needing a bit more time to get integrated with the team after just returning stateside.
