Picks up injury vs. Toronto Brekalo was injured and subbed out in the 16th minute of Saturday's 2-1 loss against Toronto FC. He recorded no stats before exiting the match.
Impact Brekalo only lasted 16 minutes before departing the contest, and even though he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, it seems like a stretch that he could be available to face Cincinnati on May 4.

Sent to Orlando Brekalo has joined Orlando City through a transfer from Norwegian side Viking Fk, his new club announced Thursday.
Impact Brekalo is the newest member of Orlando City, having inked a contract to remain with the team until 2027, holding a club option for the 2028 season. The 25-year-old has made 185 professional appearances in his career, notching 19 goals and two assists in that span. The defender will most likely come into the squad only serving on a bench in a rotational role and will just hope to be with the club for the beginning of the campaign, as he is still awaiting his pending Visa receipt, allowing the player to travel to the United States.
