Nick Hagglund - Set to miss time with broken fibula Hagglund is set to miss the next couple of months after suffering a broken Fibula, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Queen City Press.
Impact Hagglund's season just took a turn for the worse, as he is now set to likely miss the next two to three months of action after breaking his Fibula. The defender has started in three of their past four matches, so they will be forced to make a change, with Alvas Powell, Kipp Keller and Ian Murphy being the back three until Miles Robinson returns from International duty. The club will hope for a quick and clean recovery, as they will want his availability once post-season play comes around.

Obinna Nwobodo - Sent off against New England Nwobodo was sent off during the second half of Saturday's clash with New England.
Impact Nwobodo was handed his marching orders in the second half and is now set for a ban. The midfielder will miss a Saturday trip to Dallas while suspended, with his first chance to return coming during a July 3 trip to D.C.

Kipp Keller - Back on bench Keller (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with New England.
Impact Keller is back on the bench for Saturday's clash after returning to training earlier in the week. The defender wasn't deemed fit enough to take a spot in the starting XI, but his availability on the bench is a good sign in his recovery.

Matt Miazga - Set for knee surgery Miazga will undergo knee surgery and has no timetable for his return, manager Pat Noonan told Laurel Pfahler of The Queen City Press on Friday. "There'll be a surgery, but the exte...
Impact Miazga suffered an injury during the 4-2 win over San Jose on June 15, and while the injury was initially designated as a laceration, it seems the issue is far more complicated than initially expected. Cincinnati is unaware of a potential time, so Miazga seems set for an extended spell on the sidelines. The center-back had been a regular for Cincy before suffering the injury, starting in each of his 16 appearances so far in the 2024 MLS season. Nick Hagglund is expected to see more time as a starter going forward.

Kipp Keller - Jogs with full team Keller (strain) was jogging with the team Friday ahead of Saturday's match against New England, per Laurel Pfahler of the Queens City Press.
Impact Keller was taken out of Wednesday's match with cramping as he was easing his way back to full training with another matchday on Saturday. He will likely be fit for Saturday, though will see the start on the bench at minimum, only making three appearances in the last eight MLS games for FCC.

JUNE 20 • MLSSOCCER.COM
Roman Celentano - Gives up three goals Wednesday Celentano registered two saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 4-3 victory versus Philadelphia Union.
Impact It's hard to blame Celentano for this performance since there was not much he could've done on the goals he conceded, but either way, giving up three goals won't do any favors for his fantasy stat line. Celentano will try to bounce back when Cincinnati takes on New England on Saturday, a matchup that figures to be more favorable on paper.
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Luciano Acosta - Participates in three goals in win Acosta scored two goals and assisted once from six shots and four chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory against Philadelphia Union.
Impact Acosta set up Cincinnati's first goal with a perfect cross that was headed home by Kevin Kelsy, but he wasn't done with that sequence, as the league MVP bagged two goals as well -- one with a penalty in the 49th minute and another with a stoppage-time game-winner. Acosta is having another MVP-caliber campaign as the barometer of one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, and his impact goes well beyond the numbers, but he's recorded nine goals and 13 assists across 18 appearances (17 starts).
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Yamil Asad - Assists game-winning goal Asad assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Philadelphia Union.
Impact Asad assisted Luciano Acosta's game-winning goal on stoppage time, but he didn't do much else in a game where he came off the bench. His role limits his fantasy upside in most formats. He has two assists on the season, but both have come in appearances off the bench since he's yet to make a start in 2024.
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Luca Orellano - Scores Goal of Season candidate Orellano scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Philadelphia Union.
Impact Orellano scored what can only be considered a "Goal of the Season" candidate, as he saw Oliver Semmle far beyond his line and attempted a shot from behind the halfway line that went over the keeper. This was Orellano's fourth goal of the campaign across 17 appearances (16 starts).
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Pavel Bucha - Credited with assist Bucha assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory versus Philadelphia Union.
Impact Bucha was credited with what can only be considered as one of the easiest assists he'll make in his career, as he passed the ball to Luca Orellano, who scored from behind the halfway line with an absolute rocket after seeing the opposing goalkeeper, Oliver Semmle, off his line. Bucha plays as a central midfielder, so his fantasy upside is limited, but he has one goal and one assist over his last two appearances. He's also up to two assists on the campaign across 18 starts.
JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Kelsy - Scores vs. Philadelphia Kelsy scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 4-3 win versus Philadelphia Union.
Impact Kelsy found himself with acres of space inside the box following a high cross from Luciano Acosta, and even though his header wasn't overly powerful, it was placed well enough to sneak into the back of the net and out of Oliver Semmle's reach. This was Kelsy's fourth goal of the season across eight appearances (five starts), and he's enjoying an excellent start to life in Cincinnati.

Kipp Keller - Early exit Wednesday Keller was taken off the field in the 62nd minute of Wednesday's 4-3 win against Philadelphia due to an apparent injury.
Impact Keller's day was cut short in the middle of the second half, as he first looked to be cramping before being taken off with an undisclosed issue. A timetable or severity of the problem has yet to be released, so it is hard to distinguish a return date. However, he has only appeared three times in the club's past eight games, so his absence should only have a small effect.

Aaron Boupendza - Intergrates back to training Boupendza (jaw) was able to train with the team but is not expected to be an option for Saturday's match against Philadelphia, per Laurel Pfahler of the Queens City Press.
Impact Boupendza is making a slow return to the pitch as he begun full training following his jaw injury. His timeline of return is expected to be the next week, barring any setbacks. Though the clash with New England seems soon, the best chance for his come back is expected to be the trip to Dallas on June 29.
