Misses playoff loss with injury Moutinho (lower body) was not in Orlando's match day squad for last week's Round One defeat against Nashville SC.

Impact Moutinho missed Orlando's last four games of the season with a lower body injury, ending the season with two clean sheets and an assist in 20 MLS appearances (14 starts) at left back. The 23-year-old will be competing with Kyle Smith and Emmanuel Mas for the spot in 2022.

Out against Nashville Moutinho (lower body) will miss Sunday's clash against Nashville SC, according to the pre-game health report.

Impact Moutinho missed Wednesday's defeat against Columbus with a lower body injury, and he is out on Sunday as well. Emmanuel Mas is filling in for him at left back once again.

Records assist in draw Moutinho took a shot on target and assisted a goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw against the Revolution. He also made a block, a clearance and two interceptions in the match.

Impact Moutinho set up Nani's opening goal with a cross on Sunday, and he also defended well in his first-half appearance against, admittedly, a mostly B-Team lineup from New England. He should be back in the XI Wednesday against the Crew, which are 11th in the Eastern Conference and have scored 38 goals in 31 matches this season.

Provides well-rounded performance Moutinho created two chances, sent five crosses (three accurate), made five tackles (three won) and intercepted three times in the 2-2 draw against Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Moutinho saw his form skyrocket in the draw Wednesday. The wingback had been in quite the rut, but he managed to be the best player for Orlando on either side in what was a much-needed return to form. Prior to this match, over his last five appearances, he was averaging, 0.8 shots, 1.4 created chances, 2.2 crosses, 1.0 tackles and 1.6 interceptions per 90 minutes in all competitions.

Starting against Toronto Moutinho (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Toronto.

Impact Moutinho is immediately back in the starting XI at his usual spot Saturday after missing the last three matches because of a hip issue. It's unclear if he's ready for a full 90, as he's made it the entire way just two times this season, so that's the main worry for the left-back.

Reportedly suffered a setback Moutinho suffered a setback to his hip injury in the June 23 contest and while the team hasn't released any information, he underwent an MRI last week, reports the Orlando Sentinel...

Impact It doesn't look like Moutinho is ready to return unless the team is being coy about his status. He had offseason surgery on his hip and it appears it's still bugging him. He was pulled off the available list ahead of the last match, which isn't a great sign for his status going forward.

Makes bench before break Moutinho (hip) is on the bench for Saturday's match against the Red Bulls.

Impact Moutinho is back in the squad Saturday, a good sign ahead of the international break. He's battled a nagging hip issue in the early season, which has led to just one start. Once fully healthy, he's expected to be the regular at left-back, as Michael Halliday is starting there against the Red Bulls.

Questionable for Saturday Moutinho (hip) is listed as questionable and "has been okay" heading into Saturday's trip to the New York Red Bulls, manager Oscar Pareja told the media.

Impact Moutinho missed Saturday's win over Toronto as he continues to recover from offseason hip surgery and still isn't fully fit. Rodrigo Schlegel will likely make another start if both Ruan and Moutinho remain unfit.
