On bench Saturday Forsberg (illness) is on the bench in Saturday's derby against New York City FC.

Impact Forsberg is not healthy enough to start after being an essential member of the lineup over the previous seven game weeks, during which he racked up three goals and two assists. While he may lose value as a substitute, the talented attacker will look to replace Cameron Harper or Elias Manoel at some point.

Added to injury report Forsberg (illness) is a doubt for Saturday's match against NYC FC.

Impact Forsberg was a late addition to the injury report with an illness. It's not clear the extent of the issue, if he's simply dealing with something minor he could play. With no further information on his status Forsberg appears to be a true GTD for Saturday's clash.

Assist in victory over DC Forsberg created an assist, placed one shot on goal, executed two crosses (not accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over D.C. United.

Impact Forsberg played his part in the Red Bull's victory Wednesday by creating the assist for their second goal, completed by Cameron Harper. He was subbed after 76 minutes. The team captain has demonstrated leadership through his actions all season. Over New York's last seven games he has assisted twice, scored once from open play and converted two spot kicks.

Adds another penalty goal Forsberg scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing three times inaccurately and creating a chance during Saturday's match against New England.

Impact Forsberg converted a penalty in the 43rd minute scoring New York's second goal of the match. Forsberg has goals in three of his last four matches played two of which have come from the penalty spot.

MAY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Converts penalty in loss Forsberg scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 6-2 defeat against Inter Miami.

Impact Forsberg was very good overall as he distributed and finished plays, ending with a well-deserved reward from the penalty spot in stoppage time Saturday. He increased his totals to 29 shots (10 on target), 23 chances created and three goals over nine MLS appearances. Additionally, he has recorded more than 80 minutes in eight of those games, while being the squad's top set piece taker.

MAY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Active as playmaker in draw Forsberg had two shots (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Forsberg continues to pull the strings for the Red Bulls in midfield, and the veteran playmaker keeps racking up stats left and right even when he's unable to find the back of the net. Forsberg has two goals and two assists across seven appearances this season, but he's also averaging 3.1 shots, 2.5 chances and 3.0 crosses per game.

MAY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal Forsberg scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Forsberg scored his second in MLS during Saturday's draw. He's scored assisted twice in the last five matches, recording 13 shots (five on target), 10 chances created and seven crosses (two accurate) in that span.

APRIL 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds assist Saturday Forsberg assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against FC Cincinnati.

Impact Forsberg notched an assist in Saturday's win, finding Dante Vanzeir in the 60th minute for the eventual game-winning goal. This gave Forsberg his third goal contribution this season, two of those being assists. The attacker should be expected to remain in a starting role now that he is fit once again, easily being one of their best players when on the field, notching 12 chances created, 15 crosses and 18 shots across his five appearances this campaign.

APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns as expected Forsberg (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Cincinnati.

Impact Forsberg is back on the team sheet Saturday, as expected after he trained with the group Thursday, making his return from a two-match absence due to a hamstring problem. The attacker should be expected to remain in the starting XI moving forward, as he did start in their first four matches of the season and was easily their biggest signing of the offseason, being expected to make big changes at the club after coming over from a top-five league.

APRIL 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Training with group Thursday Forsberg (hamstring) was part of full training Thursday and could be available to face Cincinnati on Saturday, Mark Fishkin of Seeing Red New York podcast reports.

Impact Forsberg didn't play against Inter Miami and Orlando City SC due to a nagging hamstring problem, but his return to training Thursday certainly shows he's in the right track to return following a two-game absence. Forsberg has made three starts with the Red Bulls, racking up one goal, one assist, one secondary assist and 15 total shots over that span.

APRIL 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with hamstring injury Forsberg is in question for Saturday's match against Orlando due to a hamstring issue.

Impact Forsberg is back from his international duties but is still questionable for Saturday, as he appears to have picked up a hamstring injury in training or while he was with the Swedish national team. He will most likely face a late fitness test, earning the start once again if healthy, but if not, expect Wikelman Carmona to start in his place, as he did while Forsberg was on international duty.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for national team Forsberg was called up by Sweden and will miss Saturday's clash with Miami.

Impact Forsberg's hot start to life with RBNY will be put on pause for a week as he's off to join up with the Swedish national team. Forsberg has one goal and two assists in four matches in MLS and is looking to take the league by storm in his first season. He will be back for a March 30 trip to Orlando.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fairly quiet versus Columbus Forsberg generated one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus Columbus Crew.

Impact Forsberg had his least productive match of the season Saturday as he set season lows in crosses and shots. He still created two chances, bringing him up to nine in four appearances this season. He played the full 90 minutes for the third time this season.

Quiet in Leipzig finale Forsberg registered one tackle (zero won) in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen.

Impact Forsberg's final match for Leipzig wasn't the thriller he may have hoped for. The long-tenured attacking midfielder wore the captain's armband and led his side to a draw in Bremen, but he failed to get too much done individually. Forsberg is now set to move to Red Bull New York in MLS for 2024.

Impact Forsberg has officially played in his final match in the Bundesliga and will be part of the New York Red Bulls organization starting Jan 1. Despite not being a regular starter, Forsberg did maintain an important role for the team since joining in 2015. With his experience playing in Europe for the last 14 seasons, he should find his way to a regular start in the MLS.
