Patrick Agyemang - Starting in opener Agyemang (ankle) is in the starting squad in Saturday's game against Seattle Sounders.

Impact Agyemang has left his fitness problems behind and is set to lead the front line in the first match of the season. His inclusion in that role may allow him to produce some shots and other offensive stats in the absence of Wilfried Zaha (not injury related). Last season, Agyemang scored 10 goals and three assists over 34 matches played.

Wilfried Zaha - Likely to miss opener Zaha is expected to miss Saturday's match against Seattle due to his wife expecting their child, according to Brian Maurer and Jorge Gonzales of Top Bin 90.

Impact Zaha seems to be out for the opener after all the talk around him being featured in their opener, as his wife is expecting. This will be a blow to the squad, as he was expected to hold a bigger role for the club. Kerwin Vargas will be his likely replacement.

Wilfried Zaha - Loaned to Charlotte Zaha has been loaned to Charlotte from Galatasaray, according to his new club.

Impact Zaha finally made his move to the MLS that has been anticipated over the past few weeks, joining Charlotte on loan until the end of the 2025 season and having the option to extend for the 2026 season. He will occupy a designated player spot and international roster spot, likely to see time immediately with his new club after a long career in Europe. He has only appeared six times (one starts) this season while with Lyon, notching one assist in his time on the field. However, those stats should grow in the MLS, as he is a solid goal contributor that should find himself near goal a decent amount.
