On bench Wednesday Fragapane (leg) is among the substitutes for Wednesday's clash against Vancouver Whitecaps.

Impact Fragapane produced one goal and one assist over 14 matches before suffering the injury which prevented him from playing the previous game.

Listed as out Fragapane (leg) is out for Saturday's match against Portland.

Impact Fragapane continues to deal with leg injuries, as he is once again out due to that exact issue. This marks his third absence of the season due to the complications, and he will now hope he can recover from this instance quickly and put his leg injuries in the past. He has not started in their past two games, so the starting XI shouldn't see much rotation due to his absence.

Dealing with leg injury Fragapane (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's match against LAFC.

Impact Fragapane will likely be set for a late fitness test ahead of Wednesday's match after picking up leg issues over the week. However, he only serves in a rotational role, so even if he is fit, only expect him to serve off the bench after nursing an injury.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Appears to be option against LAFC Fragapane (quadriceps) is expected to be an option Saturday against LAFC, according to Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune.

Impact Fragapane now appears to be an option for Saturday's contest after missing the club's past two matches due to quadriceps issues.

He will now hope to get the start, as he started in his only appearance this season, hoping to reclaim the spot from Caden Clark.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Fragapane (quadriceps) is out to face Orlando City on Saturday, Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Out against Crew Fragapane (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's clash with Columbus, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Fragapane isn't an option for Saturday's match, as expected, after struggling earlier in the week.

Struggling with strain Fragapane is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Columbus due to a quad strain, according to interim manager Cameron Knowles.

Impact Fragapane got the start in the season opener but is now in doubt for the second match due to the injury. The strain isn't expected to be an overly serious issue, but it's still something Fragapane will have to contend with moving forward. Fragapane finished the 2023 season as a bench option and may not immediately regain a starting role if injury sidelines him.

Sees limited minutes Fragapane scored once and made 24 appearances in 2023.

Impact Fragapane played the fewest minutes of his first three MLS seasons and all-in-all had a pretty awful season. The attacking midfielder was good for only three goal contributions. That's a far cry from the 15 goal contributions he found in his debut season that had Fragapane looking like an MVP candidate. Fragapane needs a strong pre-season to get back in the starting XI to look for a bounce back in 2024.
