Patrick Schulte - Starting Saturday Schulte (rest) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Portland.

Christian Ramirez - Upgraded to questionable Ramirez (thigh) is now questionable for Saturday's match against Portland, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Ramirez looked to not be expected to return for another couple of weeks, but the narrative has flipped, as he has now been listed as questionable for Saturday. This is great news for the club, although he will most likely only be on the bench if selected for the team sheet, as they will not want to rush him back, especially with a sooner return than first thought.

Christian Ramirez - Pictured on grass Ramirez (thigh) was pictured training on grass Thursday, ahead of Saturday's clash with Portland.

Impact Ramirez isn't ready to make any sort of full return, but getting back on the grass is a good sign for him. The forward will need to get some work in team sessions before he's ready to take any sort of step into the first team. Ramirez scored 10 goals across 35 appearances in 2023, his first season with Columbus.

Patrick Schulte - Did not play against Salt Lake Schulte was not an option for Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake.

Impact It is unclear the injury that Schulte is dealing with, or if he was just given the day to rest following the CCL win over Tigres. Instead, Evan Bush saw the start, who was later replaced by Nicholas Hagen after he picked up an injury. The keeper has started six matches in MLS, allowing just five goals on 13 saves with two clean sheets.

Evan Bush - Suffers injury Bush suffered an injury and subbed out in the 35th minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw against Real Salt Lake, reports Antonio Fonseca of Deportes PL.

Impact With Patrick Schulte ruled out, Bush saw another start in goal, but only lasted 35 minutes before leaving the match with an injury. He was replaced by Nicholas Hagen, who made his first MLS debut. If Schulte cannot return for Saturday, then Hagen is set for the starting role for the clash with the Timbers.

Cucho Hernandez - Completes suspension Hernandez completed his one-game suspension and will be eligible to face the Timbers on Saturday.

Impact The star striker missed the scoreless draw vs. Real Salt Lake, and he should be ready to lead the attacking line against the Timbers in an intra-conference matchup. Cucho has made six league appearances for Columbus this season, bagging three goals and adding one assist while averaging 4.5 shots per contest.

Sean Zawadzki - Clears protocols Zawadzki (concussion) cleared concussion protocols and is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake.

Impact Zawadzki cleared concussion protocols, making him a full option, and evidently sending him straight back into the starting XI. The defender started five of the six matches before going down with an injury and seems set for a consistent starting role now that he is fit once more.

Christian Ramirez - Still not ready for return Ramirez (thigh) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Real Salt Lake, according to the club's injury report.

Impact Ramirez will miss yet another game, now missing his third straight match due to thigh issues.

His next chance to return will be against Portland on April 20.
