Impact O'Brien joined D.C. on-loan from Nottingham Forest last week, but he won't be ready to feature yet for his new side Saturday due to visa issues and needing to get up to speed with his teammates.

Mohanad Jeahze - Doutbful against Chicago Jeahze (undisclosed) is expected to miss Saturday's clash against the Fire with an eye on returning for next weekend's match with Columbus, The Washington Post's Steven Goff report...
Impact Jeahze missed last weekend's loss to the Revolution and is not expected to be able to feature versus Chicago on Saturday either despite not being listed in D.C.'s injury report. He started each of the team's first four games of the season, but Jacob Greene could continue in his place at left-back for the time being.
MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Palsson - Back with club team Palsson (not injury related) has returned to D.C. ahead of the Clash against the Fire this weekend, Steven Goff of The Washington Post reported Thursday.
Impact Palsson missed last weekend's loss to the Revolution while away on international duty, but he should be available for selection in his return to the squad on Saturday against Chicago.

Nigel Robertha - Lands back on injury report Robertha (illness) is listed as questionable on the D.C. injury report for Saturday's trip to Chicago.
Impact Robertha missed a one-all draw with Orlando due to illness, before returning against NYC FC. The forward has picked up another illness and is now in doubt for Saturday's trip as well. Christian Benteke and Ted Ku-DiPietro lead the line last time out, leaving Robertha on the bench.

Pedro Santos - Upgraded to questionable Santos (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's trip to Chicago on the D.C. injury report.
Impact Santos underwent a minor knee injury that figured to sideline him into mid-April. Surprisingly he's already been upgraded to questionable on the injury report, though any actual playing time is wholly unlikely. Taxiarchis Fountas came off the bench against New England and is the expected starter on the left side of the attack.

Matai Akinmboni - Ruled out once more Akinmboni (head) is out for Saturday's trip to Chicago, according to the D.C. injury report.
Impact Akinmboni remains on the sideline with a head injury. The youngster opened the season with the senior team, a great sign for his development, though this head injury has held him out of the first team. When fully fit Akinmboni will be in a position to compete for limited minutes in the center of the defense.
MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andy Najar - Not yet ready Najar (thigh) is out for Saturday's trip to Chicago, according to the D.C. injury report.
Impact Najar picked up the thigh injury after starting the opening two matches of the season and remains on the mend. While he is sidelined Ruan has taken over as the starter at right-back and performed generally well. When Najar is ready to return it's possible there is a true competition for the starting job on the right side of the defense.

Brendan Hines-Ike - Remains out Hines-Ike (foot) is out for Saturday's trip to Chicago, via the D.C. injury report.
Impact Hines-Ike is out Saturday as he continues to deal with a foot injury. It was reported he was targeting a return in late March, though evidently that isn't on the cards. The defender's next chance to return is an April 8 match against Columbus.

Taxiarchis Fountas - Takes two shots against New England Fountas subbed into Saturday's match against the Revolution in the 68th minute, taking two shots on target and winning one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Fountas made his season debut off the bench Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury, and he injected some impetus into his side's attack upon his introduction. Once he's fully fit, he should break back into the starting lineup alongside Christian Benteke up front.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Russell Canouse - Takes shot in loss Canouse took a shot and won one of four tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Revolution. He also made two interceptions in the match.
Impact Canouse has started all five of D.C.'s MLS matches this season, but he's been more of a defensive presence in midfield as he's recorded 14 interceptions and eight tackles won (out of 14).
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Greene - Two blocks in full debut Greene made a clearance, two blocks and an interception in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against the Revolution. He also won one of three tackles in the match.
Impact Greene made his first ever senior start for D.C. on Saturday, and he handled it well filling in for Mohanad Jeahze at left-back. The 20-year-old is unlikely to be an MLS regular just yet, but he could continue getting opportunities as the season progresses.

Jackson Hopkins - Fires two shots-on-target Hopkins had four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to New England Revolution.
Impact Hopkins put in an outstanding performance on Saturday and contributed two of the seven shots-on-target that United managed. He unfortunately did not score, but as the 18-year-old matures and gets more playing time he will inevitably contribute goals and assists. He was subbed after 68. From four appearances he has made one start.

Tyler Miller - Concedes two in loss Miller made three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the New England Revolution.

Ruan - Creates first assist Ruan assisted once to go with four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against New England Revolution.

Impact Benteke, the veteran Belgian striker, scored his third of the season on Saturday. He is in hot form having now scored in three of United's first five matches (0.6 goals per game) and he averages 3.4 shots-per-game (middle of the pack for MLS strikers). There is a good chance he will find the net again in United's next game against the Chicago Fire. Chicago have not managed to keep a clean sheet yet this season.
