Impact Duran has missed the last five matches with a hamstring injury and is on track to make a return to the pitch as soon as Saturday. When healthy, the forward was only used as a depth option off the bench for Aston Villa. Since moving from MLS in 2022, Duran had made 26 appearance since last season, failing to make a start while also scoring two goals.

Impact Duran is the latest member of Villa to join the injury list in this grueling part of the season, having picked up a hamstring issue in the club's last match against Everton. This is unfortunate for the forward, but luckily for the club, he has only served as a substitute this season, having yet to start a match this year. He will hope to return sometime in February and to have no setbacks in his recovery process, as Villa continues to try to stay in the title race, now having no regular backup options in the attack.

He had missed the first game of the season due to an injury but, since then, has appeared in every match as a substitute. It looks as if he will be playing more of a rotational role this season and will get most of his chances off the bench.

Fit for Everton clash Duran is fit and in the match day squad to face Everton on Sunday.

Impact Duran was ruled for the Premier League opener as well as two-to-three additional weeks but is now back in training ahead of schedule. It's uncertain if he'll be able to return to the first team for Sunday's Everton clash or if an Aug. 27 trip to Burnley is a more realistic timeline.

Impact Duran failed to make a single start in 12 league appearances for the club last season, registering seven shots (two on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and two clearances.

Impact It's an interesting move for Duran after posting eight goals and three assists in 27 appearances for Chicago this past season.

His goal came courtesy of an excellent ball over the top by Brian Gutierrez and an assist from Boris Sekulic, putting Fire up 2-0.

With fellow striker Kacper Przybylko struggling with multiple knocks and Chicago all but eliminated from playoff contention, Duran could indeed see some extended run throughout the remainder of the season.
