Impact Amundsen picked up his fifth yellow card of the season Saturday and will be forced to miss Wednesday's clash with Houston due to yellow-card accumulation.

Impact Gressel created an impressive nine chances in Saturday's win, by far his season high, but somehow did not record an assist. He also matched a season high with eight corners, and recorded 12 crosses (four accurate), tied for his second most in a match this season. He is clearly effectively filling the role of set pieces that needed addressed following the departure of Lucas Zelarayan.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Russell-Rowe scored a goal for his second consecutive match Saturday as he found the back of the net in the 88th minute off an assist from Patrick Schulte. It was the only shot he took in his 20 minutes off the bench, but it was all he needed to score his fourth goal of the season.

Sean Zawadzki - Not listed on injury report Zawadzki (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's match against Toronto.
Impact Zawadzki left Sunday's derby against Cincinnati with an injury on stoppage time, but the problem wasn't serious, and he should be ready to go to take on Toronto. As has been the case in recent weeks, Zawadzki is likely to start at center-back alongside Malte Amundsen and Steven Moreira.

Rudy Camacho - Makes MLS Columbus debut Camacho recorded two passes in Sunday's 3-0 win versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Camacho played just a minute for his league appearance with Columbus since his trade from Montreal. He is expected to be in contention for the starting center back role for the team after making 74 clearances with a goal in 20 appearances with Montreal this season.
AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Rossi - Makes Columbus debut Rossi recorded two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 win versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Rossi suited up for the Crew for the first time Sunday after making his move from Fenerbahce. He has come into the club to replace the outgoing Lucas Zelarayan and showed flashes of his ability to do that versus FC Cincinnati. He only played 32 minutes off the bench, but still took two shots (one on target), drew one foul and recorded one inaccurate cross. It may take a bit of time to find his comfort zone back in the MLS after two seasons in Turkey, but if he can find his form that he had with LAFC, the Crew are adding a player who recorded 70 goal contributions in 109 MLS appearances just a few years ago.

Yaw Yeboah - Assists in blowout win Yeboah assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
Impact Yeboah assisted the opening goal of the match Sunday as he found Aidan Morris in the 15th minute who hit a wonderful strike from outside the box to take the 1-0 lead. It was the only chance he created in the match, to go with one tackle and one interception before being subbed off in the 91st minute for Yevgen Cheberko.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Ramirez - Assists late goal in blowout Ramirez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Ramirez recorded yet another goal contribution in Sunday's return to MLS action, as he assisted Jacen Russell-Rowe goal just before the final whistle blew. It marks his third assist of the season to go with his eight goals. With the departure of Lucas Zelarayan during the break, Ramirez along with Cucho Hernandez will be relied upon more to provide goals for Columbus.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Gressel - Makes Columbus debut Gressel registered eight crosses (two accurate), six corners and a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 win against FC Cincinnati.
Impact Gressel made his Crew debut Sunday and showed exactly why the club brought him in. After selling Lucas Zelarayan to Al-Fateh, the Crew were in desperate need of a new corner taker and Gressel fills that void. He took six corners Sunday and registered eight total crosses (two accurate) and two chances created. He also helped keep a clean sheet, recording two tackles, one interception and one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action. Now playing with the MLS's highest scoring team, Gressel could be in for even more goal contributions after recording eight in 18 matches with Vancouver earlier this season.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jacen Russell-Rowe - Scores late in blowout win Russell-Rowe scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus FC Cincinnati.
Impact Russell-Rowe was subbed onto the pitch in the 92nd minute but that did not stop him from finding the back of the net, as he found himself loose in the 96th minute and scored off an assist by Christian Ramirez to take the 3-0 lead. It marks his third goal of the season, but his first in his 15 appearances off the bench, as his other four goal contributions came in his mere three starts this season.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aidan Morris - Scores opener versus Cincinnati Morris scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win against FC Cincinnati.
Impact Morris scored Sunday's opening goal, a stunning strike from outside the box assisted by Yaw Yeboah in the 15th minute. It marks his fourth goal of the season and his first since he scored a brace versus Real Salt Lake April 1. With the departure of star midfielder Lucas Zelarayan during the break, Morris will be relied upon more to both score and create goals during the final stretch of the season and into the playoffs.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cucho Hernandez - Scores penalty in win Cucho Hernandez scored one goal to go with six shots (five on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
Impact Hernandez scored a penalty in Sunday's return to MLS play, as he slotted his shot calmly past Roman Celentano in the 23rd minute to take the 2-0 lead. It marks his sixth goal of the season and his 12th goal contribution. It was also his first match since Lucas Zelarayan left the club for Al-Fateh, and that departure means much more of the goalscoring burden will fall on Hernandez's shoulders in this final stretch of the season.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Schulte - Keeps clean sheet versus Cincinnati Schulte registered three saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 victory over FC Cincinnati.
Impact Schulte recorded a clean sheet in Sunday's return to MLS play, just his fifth this season. His defense did a lot of the work to keep their rivals out of the net, but Schulte did what he had to, making three saves. He has a great opportunity to keep another clean sheet Saturday versus Toronto FC, a side which has scored just 20 goals in 25 league matches this season.
