Nigel Robertha - Leaves early against Red Bulls Robertha had to leave after 19 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Robertha originally entered the match as a substitute before needing a replacement himself. He's scored in two of his four starts this season, so his production isn't so bad when he gets his chances. For now, Robertha will await further word on his status before Saturday's trip to FC Cincinnati, and Yordy Reyna could take his place in the lineup.

Steve Birnbaum - Makes bench Sunday Birnbaum (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's game against the Red Bulls.

Impact Birnbaum is not fit to start, but his return to the bench is a great sign for a DC United team that is quite thin when it comes to defensive depth.

Drew Skundrich - Starts against NYRB Skundrich (knee) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Bulls.

Impact Skundrich returned last week off the bench but this is now his first start since May. He should operate in an advanced role in midfield.

Russell Canouse - Not playing Sunday Canouse (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Sunday's game against the Red Bulls.

Impact Canouse has now missed two games in a row and there's no clear timetable for his return. His next chance to feature will come next weekend on the road at Cincinnati.

Edison Flores - Edging closer to return Flores (hamstring) is edging closer to a return and is aiming to return for the July 31 trip to Cincinnati, reports Steven Goff of Washington Post.

Impact It sounds like Flores is training on the side and as long as he doesn't suffer a recurrence of his hamstring injury, could be back in the side in the next couple weeks. Given that he's been out since late May, he'll probably be brought along slowly before being given an immediate start.

Adrien Perez - Undergoes foot surgery Perez underwent foot surgery from an injury suffered last weekend and will miss approximately three months, according to the team.

Impact Perez could easily miss the rest of the season if his recovery doesn't go to plan, but if it does, he could be ready by October. Prior to injury, he had become a regular in the XI, starting nine of a possible 10 matches. In his place, Ola Kamara could see a boost in playing time.

Bill Hamid - Concedes two to Chicago Hamid made one save and two clearances during Wednesday's two-all draw with Chicago.

Impact Hamid had a poor game, not helped by an Andy Najar own goal that saw Chicago secure the draw. Hamid only made one save on the two shots on goal he faces, though he controlled his box well. He will hope to bounce back Sunday, against NYRB.

Andy Najar - Nets own goal Najar netted an own goal and made five interceptions and four clearances during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Chicago.

Impact Najar actually had a strong performance Wednesday, making a few crucial interceptions and keeping D.C. United in the game all night. But he put past his own keeper with what proved to be the crucial goal, as Chicago were able to secure the draw. Najar will hope to make it right Sunday, against NYRB.

Yordy Reyna - Assists vs. Chicago Reyna provided one assist on one chance created, as well as shooting once on target during Wednesday's two-all draw with Chicago.

Impact Reyna finally got off the mark for the 2021 campaign, grabbing his first assist late in Wednesday's match. Reyna has been coming off the bench as a sub after a hamstring injury set him back early in the season. Whether a return to the starting XI is on the cards or not Reyna appears healthy, and could be a strong option off the bench. His next chance is a Sunday showdown with NYRB.

Kevin Paredes - Scores in return Paredes scored after coming off the bench at half time, on his only shot during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Chicago.

Impact Paredes scored in his second consecutive game, once again making the most of only a single shot on goal. The midfielder has established himself on the fringe of the starting XI, coming on frequently even in matches he doesn't start. Next up is a Sunday clash with NYRB.

JULY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ola Kamara - Nets penalty Kamara scored once from the spot on two shots on goal during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Chicago.

Impact Kamara netted his sixth goal of the year and his fifth in his last five games from the penalty spot late during Wednesday's game. The forward has been on absolute fire of late and should be a premier option heading into Sunday's clash against NYRB.

Paul Arriola - Battling injury in Gold Cup Arriola has missed the last couple matches in the Gold Cup because of an injury suffered in the first group match.

Impact There hasn't been much information released on Arriola's injury and the general thought is that it's minor since he's still in camp. He'll have another chance to return to the team for their next match July 25 and if the U.S. win, his absence could be extended into August.

Adrien Perez - Exits in first half of loss Perez was forced off in the 32nd minute of Saturday's loss against Philly with an undisclosed injury.

Impact It's not a great sign for Perez, who seems unlikely to start on a short week in which he was injured. If he can't start Wednesday against Chicago, Yordy Reyna may be next in line to start in the D.C. attack which is battling numerous injuries.

JULY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Russell Canouse - Leaves injured Saturday Canouse was forced off in the 30th minute of Saturday's loss against Philadelphia with an undisclosed issue.

Impact There have been few updates on the status of Canouse, who is listed as questionable for Wednesday's match against Chicago. At this point, he seems like a doubt to feature on a short week, pointing to a possible start for Moses Nyeman in the midfield.
