Back on bench Wednesday Twumasi (knee) is on the bench to face Minnesota United on Wednesday.

Impact Twumasi is in contention following a two-game absence, looking to replace Paul Arriola on the right flank at some point of the match. The Ghanaian has produced one assist and just a few defensive numbers in 12 appearances (10 starts) throughout the current campaign.

Status unclear Twumasi (knee) is not on the injury report but continues to handed a questionable tag for Wednesday's match against Minnesota.

Impact Twumasi continues to deal with a knee injury as his status for Wednesday is unclear, with another match coming up on Saturday.

Not an option Saturday Twumasi (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Minnesota.

Impact Twumasi's absence is a significant loss for the club, as he is a regular starter, having started in 10 of his 12 appearances. This will likely force Sebastian Lletget to get the start, with Paul Arriola likely starting in Twumasi's place until he is fit again. He currently has no timetable for a return.

Option off bench Twumasi (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Seattle.

Questionable for Saturday Twumasi is questionable to play Saturday against Seattle due to a right shoulder injury.

Impact Twumasi has been in and out of the lineup this season, making 11 starts out of 15 appearances, but with Geovane Jesus out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, his absence would leave Dallas with thin depth on the defensive end and no real specialist for the right-back role. If that's the case, then Nkosi Tafari or Armet Korca would be options to play on the right, but both would be out of position since they're center-backs by trait.

Extends contract with Dallas Twumasi has signed a three-year contract extension with FC Dallas with the option to further extend for an additional two years, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Twumasi had a breakout year in 2021 with 23 MLS appearances (19 starts) playing at both right back and left back. The 24-year-old has signed on through 2024 at least, but he has some stiff competition for the full back spots with Ryan Hollingshead and Justin Che also in the mix for Dallas.

But Justin Che presents very strong competition at right back, and Twumasi will have a fight on his hands to keep that starting spot next year.
