Doesn't play Saturday Mihailovic wasn't available for Saturday's 4-0 win over New England as he approaches a transfer to Dutch club AZ Alkmaar, according to Tom Bogert of mlsssoccer.com.

Impact Mihailovic is set to take his chances in Europe after racking up 13 goals and 24 assists over the last three seasons between Chicago and Montreal. While on his way out, there aren't really any direct replacement for Mihailovic but Lassi Lapalainen is probably the safest bet while Alistair Johnston continues as the primary set piece taker.

Busy in draw Mihailovic had one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (five accurate), and six corners in Saturday's 2-2 tie against Inter Miami CF.

Impact Mihailovic was the main creative outlet on set-pieces for Montreal as usual with seven crosses and four chances created. The midfielder might not be a superstar but his role gives him plenty of consistent value and a safe floor. Mihailovic will look to keep this solid form going in the latter half of the season as Montreal continue to struggle.

Missed Montreal's only shot on target Mihailovic had one shot off target and one shot blocked in CF Montreal's scoreless draw with New York City FC on Saturday.

Impact Mihailovic fired Montreal's only shot on target in the match. His first attempt was blocked and the rebound saved by Sean Johnson. It has been five appearances since the forward's last goal. He was subbed after 82 for Ismael Kone. From 17 appearances (15 stars) he has scored seven goals and made three assists.

Creates two chances Mihailovic had three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-1 win against D.C. United.

Impact Mihailovic was back in the starting XI for the first time since May and he was back to his usual creativity, creating two chances in the win. The attacking midfielder has been excellent in the first half for Montreal despite the injury and is a top candidate to blow past 10 goals in his second season with Montreal. Next up is a Saturday clash with NYCFC.

Returns to bench Saturday Mihailovic (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Toronto.

Impact Mihailovic is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Toronto. The midfielder returned to training earlier in the week and was always expected to be return in some way. When healthy and fully fit Mihailovic is a nailed-on starter, so more likely than not he should be given a chance to test his ankle late during Saturday's match.

Taken off injury report Mihailovic (ankle) is not listed in Montreal's injury report for Saturday's clash against Toronto FC.

Impact Mihailovic has missed his side's last five MLS games with an ankle injury he picked up in late May. He returned to training with the team last week, and he could be ready to make his return to the pitch on Saturday.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to return yet Mihailovic (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash against Sporting KC, according to Montreal's injury report.

Impact Mihailovic returned to training with Montreal this week but he is still not quite fit enough for selection after missing the last five weeks or so with an ankle injury.

JULY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Training with team Mihailovic (ankle) was back in training with CF Montreal on Thursday, Dave Levesque of Journal de Montreal reports.

Impact Mihailovic has missed his side's last four MLS games with an ankle injury he suffered at the end of May, but he is making progress with his recovery. He will be questionable for Saturday's clash against Sporting KC.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out four more weeks Mihailovic (ankle) suffered an injury setback last week and is now expected to miss around four weeks, Hady Raphael of Culture Soccer reports.

Impact An ankle injury in late May has already done major damage to Mihailovic's World Cup hopes, as it kept him out of the USMNT's June camp, and now it's threatening to derail his MVP-caliber campaign in MLS as well, as he's expected to be out until late July now. Matko Miljevic is his preferred replacement alongside Joaquin Torres in attacking midfield, but Montreal will want to see Mihailovic healthy and back in the XI as soon as possible.

Doubtful for Austin game Mihailovic (ankle) is unlikely to be available for selection in Saturday's clash against Austin FC, Montreal manager Wilfried Nancy said Thursday.

Impact Mihailovic suffered an ankle injury just before the international break, and while he's been progressing well with his recovery, it seems doubtful that he will be fit in time to play Austin this weekend. Ahmed Hamdi or Matko Miljevic could replace him in attacking midfield for the game if necessary, or Nancy could opt to put in another defense-minded midfielder like Samuel Piette.

JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing with recovery Mihailovic (ankle) is training individually with CF Montreal and is moving around comfortably, Dave Levesque of Le Journal de Montreal reported Wednesday.

Impact Mihailovic suffered an ankle injury against Cincinnati at the end of May that unfortunately ruled him out for the current international window with the USMNT, but he is recovering well so far and could be available for Montreal's MLS clash against Austin on June 18.

JUNE 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Missing internationals with injury Mihailovic (ankle) has been ruled out of the U.S. National Team's June fixtures and training camp.

Impact An ankle injury Mihailovic suffered against Cincinnati last weekend couldn't have come at a worse time, as the 23-year-old has been in excellent form in MLS and he still had an outside shot of making the U.S.'s World Cup roster as he was called up for the first time since 2020. But he has been ruled out for the June window which likely means he has been removed from the Qatar radar as there just isn't enough time left to evaluate him properly in the national team setup. Montreal's next match will come against Austin FC on June 18.

Impact Mihailovic opened the scoring in the first minute of Sunday's game for his seventh goal of the season. He's the early frontrunner for the MVP award with the form he's been in to begin the campaign, and he'll just want to keep it rolling next weekend against FC Cincinnati, which have conceded 21 times in 13 MLS matches.
