Brad Smith - ACL tear confirmed Smith suffered a torn ACL during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia, his club confirmed Sunday. He's set to undergo surgery and begin his rehabilitation.
Impact Smith is expected to miss between six-and-nine months while recovering from surgery, missing the rest of the 2022 season but unlikely to miss much time during the 2023 campaign. Sami Guediri has started each of the last two matches on the left flank and should take over that spot for the rest of the year with Smith out.

Martin Rodriguez - Awaiting visa Rodriguez will be a doubt for Wednesday's game as he is waiting on a visa to be eligible to play in the U.S., Steven Goff of the Washington Post reports.
Impact Rodriguez is yet to join up with D.C. after transferring from the Turkish Super Lig in late June. Immigration statuses have given MLS clubs plenty of trouble this season, so Rodriguez may miss a few more games until his visa arrives.

Andy Najar - Expected to return for Wednesday Najar (undisclosed) is expected to be available for selection in Wednesday's clash against the Crew, Steven Goff of the Washington Post reports.
Impact Najar missed last weekend's defeat to Philadelphia due to injury and he was suspended for the prior match against Orlando, but he should be available to make his return against Columbus. He has started eight MLS matches this season, most of them from the back-three.

Brad Smith - Torn ACL suspected Smith may have torn his ACL during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia, according to Steven Goff of the Washington Post.
Impact Smith's status should be cleared up early in the week but after leaving on a stretcher during Friday's match, his prognosis isn't so high in the short term. Tony Alfaro replaced Smith after his injury and could take over his spot in the lineup long-term as well.

Taxiarchis Fountas - Takes four shots in loss Fountas took four shots (two on goal) during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Fountas took hold of a few half chances but the lopsided first half made it difficult to build up good momentum. He's still scored four times in the last three matches and will next face Columbus, which have conceded the second-fewest goals in the league.
JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Julian Gressel - Busy in loss Gressel created four chances on 10 crosses (four accurate) during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Gressel helped make the second half not look nearly as bad, though a seven-goal loss seldom looks good no matter how it happened. He'll next face Columbus, which have conceded the most crosses to midfielders in the league.

Rafael Romo - Beaten seven times in loss Romo conceded seven goals and made five saves during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Romo was one the wrong end of five goals in the first half and ended up suffering one of the worst defeats in league history. While the defense should take just as much blame, Romo will need to make sure he keeps his place over Jon Kempin for Wednesday's match against Columbus.

Brad Smith - Leaves on stretcher Smith left the field on a stretcher in the 67th minute of Friday's match against Philadelphia.
Impact Smith was replaced by Tony Alfaro in what unfortunately looked like a non-contact leg injury. With a solid 53 crosses from 14 starts in 16 appearances, replacing Smith for however long it takes will be more trouble after a lopsided loss Friday.
