Impact Miller conceded two goals Saturday, the first off a penalty in the 39th minute and then again in the 47th minute.

He faces a much easier matchup next Saturday at Montreal who have scored just three goals in six league matches this season.

Chris Durkin - Dealing with foot injury Durkin's status for Saturday's clash against the Crew is uncertain, as he is listed as questionable with a foot injury in D.C.'s injury report for the match.

Impact Durkin has started all six of D.C. United's MLS matches this season mostly on the right wing, but he may have to face a fitness test in order to be available for selection against Columbus. With Nigel Robertha (ankle) already ruled out, Jackson Hopkins, Yamil Asad and Ruan could all be options to replace him in the position if necessary.

Matai Akinmboni - Taken off injury report Akinmboni (head) is no longer listed on D.C.'s injury report ahead of Saturday's clash against the Crew.

Impact Akinmboni has cleared the concussion protocols after suffering a head injury in March, and he could be in contention to make his second start of the season this weekend as Derrick Williams (thigh) is out in central defense.

Nigel Robertha - Out with ankle injury Robertha will miss Saturday's clash against the Crew due to an ankle injury.

Impact Robertha started each of D.C.'s first two games of the season up front, but he's been limited to less than an hour of playing time in the four matches since and has now picked up an ankle injury that will rule him out against Columbus on Saturday.

Derrick Williams - Ruled out against Columbus Williams (undisclosed) will not be available for this weekend's clash against the Crew, D.C. manager Wayne Rooney told The Washington Post's Steven Goff on Thursday.

Impact Williams missed last weekend's draw against the Fire and is not expected to be able to play versus Columbus on Saturday either. With Matai Akinmboni (head) still in question, Donovan Pines could continue as the starter alongside Steve Birnbaum in central defense while Williams is out.

Mohanad Jeahze - Could be available for weekend Jeahze (thigh) is expected to be "in uniform" for the clash against the Crew this weekend, D.C. manager Wayne Rooney told Steven Goff of The Washington Post on Thursday.

Impact Jeahze has missed his side's last two games with an injury, but he could be back in the squad against Columbus on Saturday even if he's unlikely to be fit enough to start in the game. Jacob Greene should continue at left-back until Jeahze can return to the XI.

Impact O'Brien will be eligible to feature against Columbus at the weekend for the first time since his March transfer from Nottingham Forest. He will aim to break into D.C.'s starting XI in midfield once he's up to speed with his new teammates.

Donovan Pines - Keeps clean sheet in season debut Pines made three blocks, four clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Fire. He also took a shot on target and created a chance in the match.

Impact Pines made started alongside Steve Birnbaum in central defense and helped shut out Chicago on his first appearance of the season. He will likely return to the bench once Derrick Williams (thigh) and Matai Akinmboni (head) return to fitness.

Mateusz Klich - Creates four chances vs. Chicago Klich made a clearance and created four chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Fire. He also won one of one tackles in the match.

Victor Palsson - Keeps clean sheet in return Palsson made two clearances and an interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against the Fire.

Christian Benteke - Just one shot-on-target in draw Benteke had one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Chicago Fire.

Impact Benteke was dangerous on Saturday but his interplays and combination plays with those around him did not materialize in goals. He has been in hot form having scored in each of his previous two games and he will doubtless feature on the scoresheet again sooner than later. From six appearances (all starts) he has scored three goals.

Steven Birnbaum - Contributes to first clean sheet Birnbaum registered one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Chicago Fire.

Impact Birnbaum, the captain, played his leadership role well on Saturday but was not able to rally his team to find a goal in what was an anemic encounter with the Chicago Fire. From six appearances (five starts) he has scored once and this was his first clean sheet.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jacob Greene - Makes second start Greene had one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Chicago Fire.

Impact Greene put in a strong performance on Saturday with his second start of the season from three appearances. The 20-year-old defender was effective at arresting attacks down the Fire's left flank and showed he has the potential to score with his shot-at-goal. The youngster still has some developing to do but he will be one to watch in future seasons.

Taxiarchis Fountas - Strikes post in draw Fountas recorded four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against the Chicago Fire. In addition, he was given a yellow card in...

Impact Fountas secured his first start of the season on Saturday following bench appearances since his return from a hamstring injury in March. The Greek striker was dangerous and sought out as a target man in set pieces. He almost scored twice, the second being a long range effort that rattled the goalpost. It is likely he will maintain a starting position for United's next game against the Columbus Crew and he looks a likely scorer in the near future.

Tyler Miller - Delivers first clean sheet Miller had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Chicago Fire.

Impact Miller was solid on Saturday in an unentertaining stalemate with the Chicago Fire. He only had two shots to save with the latter towards the end of the match being a world-class stop to ensure United left with a point. He will need to maintain his form for United's next against the Columbus Crew. The Crew have found the net in every game this season. From 6 appearances (all starts) he has conceded 10 (1.7 per game), performed 15 saves (2.5 per game, 60%) and this was his first clean sheet.
