Impact Santos is listed as questionable though in reality it's unlikely that he will be ready to play Saturday. The forward is more likely to be targeting a return for a Saturday clash with Columbus Crew.

Sergio Santos - Status uncertain Saturday Santos (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's trip to NYRB, according to the Cincinnati injury report.
Sergio Santos - Should be back soon Santos (leg) is expected to rejoin team training in the next few days, manager Pat Noonan told reporters Thursday.
Impact Santos is probably out for Saturday's trip to New York Red Bulls but could be back by the end of August. He would be a big piece to fit into the attack along with Luciano Acosta and Brandon Vazquez, but putting the puzzle together could make for an even better team over the final weeks of the season.

Ronald Matarrita - Aiming for August return Matarrita (ankle) is targeting a return to training with FC Cincinnati by the end of next week, Laurel Pfahler of Queen City Press reported Thursday.
Impact Matarrita hasn't played since March, and he's since undergone an operation on his ankle and been evaluated by multiple doctors as he rehabilitates. There is now hope that he can return to the squad by late August and potentially push Alvaro Barreal and John Nelson for the starting spot at left-back.

Zico Bailey - Not in training Bailey was not training with FC Cincinnati on Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, according to Pat Brennan of Enquirer Sports.
Impact Bailey picked up an injury while playing with FC Cincinnati 2 in MLS Next Pro on Sunday. The 21-year-old has only featured five times in all competitions with the senior team this season, so his injury will not have much of an effect on the lineup.

Roman Celentano - Concedes two in draw Celentano conceded two goals and made four saves during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Celentano has gone four straight games without defeat but only won once in that time. As it's been nearly two months since a clean sheet, Celentano continues to struggle even though he has some of the better attacking players in the league providing support. It could just be that this team needs a better defense to turn results into wins instead of draws but Celentano may not be around to see that happen.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luciano Acosta - Creates five chances in draw Acosta created five chances from six crosses (one accurate) and took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Acosta couldn't record an assist but he kept up his impressive work with a 17th chance created over his last three games. With both Brenner and Brandon Vazquez among the goals, expect Acosta to match their production step-for-step.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brenner - Scores for third straight game Brenner scored one goal from five shots (four on goal) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Brenner has scored four goals in his last three games after not finding the net in four straight contests. He's in hot form and taking more shots than Brandon Vazquez but both are able to score, so the attacking side is going right on this team.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Geoff Cameron - Provides assist in draw Cameron provided one assist from one chance created and made two blocks during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Cameron has spent more time lately getting booked as he had conceded yellow cards in three straight games before Saturday. With this and a run of nine straight appearances without a clean sheet, Cameron's value isn't tremendous even after he set up Brenner's goal.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Obinna Nwobodo - Logs assist in draw Nwobodo provided one assist from one chance created during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Nwobodo also won two-of-three tackles and made six clearances during a solid two-way performance. As he spends most of his time performing defensive duties, this assist isn't likely to be a consistent event, though he has created one chance in four straight games.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Vazquez - Scores in win Vazquez scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
Impact Vazquez has scored five goals in his last four games as he continues to chase down Sebastian Driussi in the Golden Boot race as top scorer. No matter the opponent, Vazquez seems to have no issues finding the net without needing many chances to do it.

Sergio Santos - Questionable Saturday Santos (leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Atlanta, according to the Cincinnati injury report.
Impact Santos is questionable for Saturday's clash with Atlanta after returning to individual training earlier in the week. Santos is likely in a position where he's truly a game-time call, if he passes his late fitness tests he could play, but a return to team training Friday would inspire confidence in his availability.

Nicholas Markanich - Removed from injury report Markanich (concussion) was removed from the Cincinnati injury report ahead of Saturday clash with Atlanta.
Impact Markanich was removed from the Cincinnati injury report after passing through concussion protocols. The forward has made nine appearances and one start in 2022 making him a limited option at the best of times.

Ian Murphy - Out with groin injury Murphy missed Tuesday's training session due to a groin injury ahead of Saturday's match against Atlanta United, according to Laurel Pfahler of Queen City Press.
Impact Murphy probably needs to miss this weekend's game at the least as he works on his fitness. He left after halftime during Saturday's 3-1 win over Philadelphia and Tyler Blackett could take his place in the lineup.

Sergio Santos - Continues individual work Santos (leg) continues to train on his own, according to Laurel Pfahler of Queen City Press.
Impact Santos has played just once since joining Cincy and it's still unclear when he'll return. At this point, as long as Brandon Vazquez is in the lineup Santos won't be missed much even if he gives their team a big push down the final stretch of the season.

Junior Moreno - Creates chance in win Moreno created a chance and made four clearances in Saturday's 3-1 victory against the Union. He also made an interception in the match.
Impact Moreno has started two games in a row for Cincinnati since returning from a leg injury that kept him out for more than a month, but he seems to have recovered his starting spot in midfield alongside Obinna Nwobodo now that he's back.
