Impact Forsberg finally made an appearance for the Red Bulls, but his 32 minutes of cameo weren't enough to change fortunes for his side, as the Red Bulls suffered a heavy defeat against their arch-rivals in the Hudson River derby.

Impact Forsberg didn't play in Saturday's draw against Nashville, but Schwarz's words sound as if the Swedish playmaker will be a true game-time call for Wednesday.

Forsberg has six goals and three assists across 14 appearances this season.
