Karol Swiderski - Three shots in loss Swiderski had three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 1-0 loss versus Austin FC.

Impact Swiderski shot three times but failed to put any on goal during a disappointing loss. The striker was making his return to the team after issues with returning from national team duty as well as a COVID outbreak delayed his return. Swiderski will hope to get back in the goals during Sunday's trip to Houston.

Kamil Jozwiak - Starting against Austin Jozwiak is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Austin.

Impact Jozwiak is back in the starting XI Thursday having not played in the last three matches because of international duty and then an illness. It's not expected he'll go a full 90, as he's yet to go more than 65 minutes in either of his starts this season.

Christian Fuchs - Back in starting XI Fuchs is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Austin.

Impact Fuchs is back in the starting XI Thursday and he's surprisingly in the spot of Joseph Mora at left-back. Fuchs played 33 minutes a few days ago and it's a wonder if he's ready to go a full 90. He's made four prior starts at left-back this season, one of which he scored a goal and managed three shots and four crosses in a loss to Orlando.

Christian Ortiz - Available Thursday Ortiz (health and safety protocol) is available for Thursday's clash with Austin FC after being removed from the injury report.

Impact Ortiz has been removed from the injury report and should be good-to-go for Thursday's match. The midfielder has scored once and added two assists so far in 2022, starting the two matches directly before entering health and safety protocols. Ortiz has only started seven matches on the way to 14 appearances so there's a chance he's left on the bench Thursday despite a return to availability.

Andre Shinyashiki - Exits protocols Shinyashiki (health and safety protocol) is off the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash with Austin FC.

Impact Shinyashiki is off the injury report for Thursday's clash with Austin and should be available in the starting XI.

Shinyashiki has three goals in five starts (six appearances) for Charlotte, and had started every match before entering health and safety protocols.

Benjamin Bender - Absent from injury report Bender (health and safety protocol) is absent from the injury report ahead of Thursday's clash with Austin.

Impact Bender is absent from the injury report ahead of Thursday's match with Austin. The midfielder has been a stable part of the starting XI when healthy and should be right back in the starting XI for Thursday's match. Bender has three goals and three assists so far in 2022, creating 18 chances during 16 appearances (12 starts) in a productive debut campaign in MLS.

Kristijan Kahlina - Set to return Thursday Kahlina (health and safety protocols) is set to return for Thursday's clash with Austin FC.

Impact Kahlina missed last time out after entering health and safety protocols alongside 10 other players for Charlotte. The keeper should be right back in the starting XI as he has been for the rest of the season now that he is fit once more. Kahlina has earned five clean sheets in 16 starts, making 53 saves and letting in 19 goals so far in 2022.

Mora has been consistent on the field starting in every match he has played in for the 2022 campaign. If his previous injuries don't prove to be a periodic issue, Mora is likely to become a key role in the starting XI for Charlotte moving forward.

George Marks - Concedes two in loss Marks conceded two goals and made one save during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Montreal.

Impact Marks struggled in his first start conceding two goals and tallying yet another loss for the Charlotte squad. With the poor first performance for the goalkeeper, Marks must improve his abilities in order to remain a possible starter moving forward.
