Vinicius Mello - Ready for preseason Mello (foot) was able to train with Charlotte at the end of last year and is now "full go" at the start of preseason in 2023, according to manager Christian Lattanzio on Monday.
Impact Mello wasn't able to play at all in Charlotte's expansion season due to a foot fracture he suffered just before signing with the club from Internacional in Brazil. But if the 20-year-old is fully fit to begin the new campaign, it would be a huge boost to the club's attack in support Karol Swiderski and Enzo Copetti in the front-two.

Guzman Corujo Briccola - Continuing recovery Corujo (knee) is not training with Charlotte yet but he is with the team for their preseason camp in Florida, manager Christian Lattanzio said Monday.
Impact Corujo has been out since tearing his ACL in August and he is likely to at least miss the beginning of the 2023 campaign as well, though Lattanzio noted that "he's recovering quicker than initially thought." Anton Walkes and Adilson Malanda will likely begin the season as Charlotte's starting center-back pairing, with Jan Sobocinski the backup option until Corujo is fit again.
