Caleb Stanko - Back in training Stanko has returned to training after clearing health and safety protocols, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Queen City Press.
Impact Stanko may still not be ready in time for Saturday's match against Toronto, though he's only started one match since July and may not have much of a role to offer in any situation. With some strong depth at center-back heading into the weekend, Stanko could first be eased from the bench if available.

Ronald Matarrita - Returns from international duty Matarrita has returned to his club after international duty but is "not as likely" to be ready for Saturday's match against Toronto FC, according to Pat Brennan of the Cincinnati E...
Impact Matarrita scored in the loss to Columbus just before joining Costa Rica for their World Cup Qualifiers and returns as an immensely important player at club level as well. There aren't too many options who can capably fill Matarrita's spot at left-back, so Alvaro Barreal could get another start on the left flank if there's no room for a defender out wide.

FC Cincinnati GK Kenneth Vermeer sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols Vermeer, FC Cincinnati's regular starting goalkeeper, won't be available for Saturday's match against Toronto FC at TQL Stadium.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 • CINCINNATI.COM
Kenneth Vermeer - In protocols Vermeer is in "health and safety protocols" as of Wednesday's training session, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Queen City Press.
Impact Vermeer may have some difficulty being available for Saturday's match against Toronto FC if he's stuck isolating for a close-contact or positive test of COVID-19. In that situation, Przemyslaw Tyton could be restored to the lineup after conceding four goals in three appearances.

Geoff Cameron - Makes seven clearances in loss Cameron created one chance and made two tackles (won both), seven clearances and two interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss aganst Inter Miami.
Impact Cameron made a great job at the heart of the defense, keeping Miami's forwards at bay during the entire match, but then saw Brek Shea appear unmarked at the left side of the box to give the opposition all three points in play and end his clean sheet hopes. The centre back is one of Cincinnati's steadiest fantasy contributors this season and will next face Toronto on Saturday.

Luciano Acosta - Sends in eight crosses in loss Acosta had two off-target shots, created one chance, sent in eight crosses (two accurate), won two tackles and drew three fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Inter Miami.
Impact Acosta couldn't appear on the scoresheet for the third consecutive match, but still was Cincinnati's lone bright spot on the offensive end, always being able to generate plays from scratch and using his combination of speed and skill to drive opposing defenders crazy. The forward had two assists, seven shots, seven chances created and 13 crosses over his last three starts and will be once again Cincinnati's biggest threat during next Saturday's home match against Toronto.

Kenneth Vermeer - Concedes late goal in loss Vermeer made zero saves and conceded a goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Inter Miami.
Impact Vermeer looked en route to a clean sheet thanks largely to the opposition's lack of accuracy in front of the goal. But everything changed in the 90th minute, when he saw Brek Shea appearing completely unmarked on the left side of the box and sending the ball past him to score the lone goal of the match. The goalkeeper was beaten five times over the last three matches and will try to bounce back during next Saturday's home match against Toronto.

Tyler Blackett - Trains with new teammates Blackett participated in Monday's training session with FC Cincinnati for the first time, according to Pat Brennan of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Impact Blackett had joined the club in early-August on a permanent deal after leaving Nottingham Forest and just joined his new team for training. By supporting Ronald Matarrita on the left flank, Blackett will hope to be a reliable option when called upon to play.

Calvin Harris - Returns to bench Harris (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Inter Miami.
Impact Harris has been out since mid-June, but is making his return to the bench, and could shortly find some consistent playing time. Harris could be a fantasy non-factor this season, as he takes time returning to full match fitness.

Kenneth Vermeer - Allows three goals against Columbus Vermeer made eight saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-2 loss against Columbus.
Impact Vermeer returned after missing two games and made a bunch of saves as Columbus attacked relentlessly, but some of those saves spilled out for rebounds, which helped lead to two of the goals he conceded. He has now made 48 saves, allowed 23 goals and kept four clean sheets through 15 starts this season. Cincinnati will look to bounce back Saturday at home against Inter Miami.

Impact Acosta slipped the ball to Isaac Atanga running down the right side of the field and Atanga did the rest as he cut in on his left foot and drilled a shot into the far bottom corner of the net for a goal in the 74th minute. Acosta had a productive game as he finished with two shots (one on goal) and sent in four crosses (one accurate) to go along with the three chances he created. He also won one of two tackles and made an interception. Acosta has now assisted in two consecutive games and has four goals and six assists (one secondary) through 18 starts this season. Cincinnati will host Inter Miami on Saturday.

He also created a chance in his time on the pitch. Atanga also has two assists through 13 appearances (seven starts) this season. Cincinnati will host Inter Miami on Saturday.

Caleb Stanko - Out against Miami Stank (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash against Inter Miami due to health and safety protocols, according to Laurel Pfahler of the Dayton Daily News.
