Brandt Bronico and Ashley Westwood will likely start in midfield against Atlanta in Jones' absence.

Adilson Malanda - Leaves Saturday with boot Malanda was subbed off due to a foot injury in the 65th minute of Saturday's 3-2 victory over New York City FC and left the day with a boot on his foot, reports journalist Sam Spen...
Impact Malanda was forced to come off in the 65th minute with an apparent foot injury. Carroll Walton of the CLT Ledger reported that head coach Christian Lattanzio does not know the extent of his injury, but will likely not play Tuesday during the U.S Open match against Orlando. He's started all 11 matches, averaging about 3.6 clearances a game. With Bill Tuiloma (thigh) still injured, then Nathan Byrne could slide into the center defense, with Harrison Afful an option to start at left back.

McKinze Gaines - Assists in win McKinze Gaines assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus New York City FC.
Impact McKinze Gaines got the start for the second straight match and recorded an assist Saturday. He's totaled five starts in the last eight games, logging in an assist with 21 crosses (five accurate) in that span to put him at 2.6 crosses a game.

Justin Meram - First assist with new team Meram assisted once to go with five crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 14th minute.
Impact Meram got his first assist with Charlotte since being traded from Real Salt Lake last month. Since Kamil Jozwiak (thigh) is still out on injury, he will likely continue to get the start, but could also continue to still get starts beyond his return to provide more depth in the midfield for the team.

Enzo Copetti - Scores brace, set for suspension Copetti scored two goals to go with two shots (two on target) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-2 victory against New York City FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...
Impact Copetti scored his first brace in the MLS to help give Charlotte the win Saturday. However, he was shown his fifth yellow card and will serve a one match suspension. He's started in every match thus far, recording four goals in 11 games. With Kamil Jozwiak (thigh) still questionable for return, Kerwin Vargas could see the start Saturday against Atlanta United in his absence if Jozwiak is not ready to return.

Kristijan Kahlina - Two saves in first league match Kahlina had four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win versus New York City FC.
Impact Kahlina returned to the lineup after missing the last 10 league matches with a back injury. Looks to be that he will take over the starting goalkeeper position over George Marks, if he is back to full fitness. He totaled 31 starts in 31 appearances in 2022, recording 98 saves while allowing 48 goals and completing seven clean sheets. If he gets the start Saturday in league play, the 30-year-old will face off against Atlanta United, who have scored seven goals in the last five games.

Kamil Jozwiak - Fitness test for Saturday Jozwiak (thigh) is listed as questionable in Charlotte's injury report to face NYCFC this weekend.
Impact Jozwiak missed last weekend's defeat against D.C. United after suffering an injury in the previous game in the U.S. Open Cup, and he could be a game time decision for Saturday's New York City match. Orrin McKinze Gaines would likely continue on the right wing if Jozwiak isn't fit enough to start.

Bill Tuiloma - Will miss New York City match Tuiloma (thigh) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash against NYCFC, according to Charlotte's injury report.
Impact Tuiloma will miss a second straight game Saturday since picking up a thigh injury in the U.S. Open Cup in late April. Derrick Jones slid back to replace him alongside Adilson Malanda in central defense last weekend, though Nathan Byrne and Jan Sobocinski are options in the position as well.
MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo Sisniega - Out with leg injury Sisniega will miss Saturday's clash against NYCFC with a leg injury, according to Charlotte's availability report for the match.
Impact Sisniega has moved down to the third-string goalkeeper in Charlotte behind George Marks and the returning Kristijan Kahlina (back), so his absence against New York City this weekend won't affect the squad too much.

Ashley Westwood - Creates two chances in loss Westwood took a shot and created two chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against D.C. United. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Westwood returned straight to the starting XI in midfield Saturday after missing five MLS games with a thigh injury he suffered in mid-March. He played well individually against D.C., but his team was still defeated comfortably on the night.
APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
McKinze Gaines - Creates chance in start Gaines created a chance and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against D.C. United.
Impact Gaines made his first start since March on Saturday while Kamil Jozwiak (thigh) was out injured. Gaines seems to be the backup option on the right wing at the moment.

Karol Swiderski - Takes three shots against D.C. Swiderski took three shots and created a chance in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against D.C. United. He also made an interception in the match.
Impact Swiderski has tallied two goals and an assist while taking 16 shots overall across his four appearances since re-entering Charlotte's starting lineup, but he wasn't able to get on the scoresheet as his side suffered a big loss on Sunday.

Justin Meram - Traded to Charlotte Meram has joined Charlotte FC via a trade from Real Salt Lake in exchange for $350,000 in General Allocation Money, the club announced Thursday.
Impact Meram tallied eight goals and 16 assists across 95 MLS appearances (57 starts) since joining RSL in February 2020, but he peaked last season and had fallen back to more of a bench role for the team in this campaign. The 34-year-old MLS veteran is now moving to Charlotte, where he can provide cover for Kerwin Vargas and Kamil Jozwiak on the left wing.
