Charlotte FC hosts Minnesota United in non-conference action
Charlotte FC faces Minnesota United in non-conference playAPRIL 20 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Miguel Tapias - Will be available Sunday Tapias (hamstring) trained throughout the week and will be available to play Sunday against Charlotte FC, Minnesota United reporter Jon Marthaler writes.
Impact Tapias recovered earlier than expected, and his return to action will provide a boost for Minnesota's defensive line, especially after the news of Hugo Bacharach suffering a knee injury that will sideline him for multiple weeks. Tapias should recover his starting role as soon as he's fit to feature, as he has been a starter in the four matches he's been available form in the current campaign.

Zarek Valentin - Available to play Sunday Valentin (thigh) trained throughout the week and will be available to play Sunday against Charlotte FC, Minnesota United reporter Jon Marthaler writes.
Impact Valentin recovered earlier than expected, and his return to action will provide a boost for Minnesota's defensive line, especially after the news of Hugo Bacharach suffering a knee injury that will sideline him for multiple weeks. Valentin has been limited to just two appearances off the bench, so he shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside, although he'll add some much needed depth at the back.

Sang-bin Jeong - Links with national team Jeong is with the South Korean U23 national team for the U-23 Asian Cup and will not be an option for the next few matches, reports Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press.
Impact Jeong has begun the season as a regular starter, making seven appearances in the starting XI in seven appearances after only making nine starts in 23 games in 2023. He's been averaging about 6.2 crosses per match with 21 crosses (four accurate) in the last three contests. While he is gone, Bongokuhle Hlongwane will likely take his place in the attacking midfield, who had already started the last two games in the attack for Minnesota.

Miguel Tapias - Back in training Tapias (hamstring) is back in training, but suffered a minor setback Monday, according to manager Eric Ramsay.
Impact Tapias is still targeting a return before the end of the week, though the setback puts him in heavy doubt for Sunday's trip to Charlotte. The defender was originally expected to return for the final match of April, and in general that appears to be the timeline he's stayed on.
APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE
Joseph Rosales - Suspension over Rosales completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Charlotte on Sunday.
Impact Rosales has already been suspended twice this season, but he's been ever-present in the starting lineup when available. That streak will probably continue against Charlotte this weekend, with Rosales expected to return to his regular left-back role.

Devin Padelford - Eight crosses Saturday Padelford recorded eight crosses (one accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Houston Dynamo.
Impact In his four previous matches, Padelford recorded a total of two crosses. On Saturday he recorded eight, although only one was accurate. He played fairly well defensively too as he won one tackle, intercepted three passes and made five clearances in his full 90 minutes of action.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Wil Trapp - Four shots Saturday Trapp registered four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Houston Dynamo.
Impact After recording zero shots in his previous five matches, Trapp recorded four (two on target) in Saturday's loss. He also recorded a secondary assist on Franco Fragapane's goal in the 70th minute. He was subbed off in the 81st minute for Jordan Adebayo-Smith.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Sang-bin Jeong - Productive in Saturday's loss Jeong had four shots (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Jeong once again failed to record a goal contribution Saturday, but still put together a very productive performance. He took a season-high four shots, created multiple chances for the third match this season and tied a season high with six corners. He also won one tackle and intercepted two passes as he played the full 90 minutes for the third consecutive match.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Lod - Assists in Saturday's loss Lod assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo.
Impact Lod recorded his third assist of the season Saturday as he set up Franco Fragapane's goal in the 70th minute which briefly tied the match at one a piece. It came on the only chance he created in the match. He also put in solid work defensively as he won three tackles and made one clearance in his full 90 minutes of action.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Franco Fragapane - Scores in Sunday's loss Fragapane scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo.
Impact Fragapane scored his first goal of the season Saturday, a strike in the 70th minute assisted by Robin Lod. It came on one of his season-high three shots, his first three shots in his four bench appearances. He also recorded one inaccurate cross and attempted one tackle in his 25 minutes of action.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Dayne St. Clair - Concedes twice in loss St. Clair registered one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Houston Dynamo.
Impact St. Clair conceded two goals in Saturday's loss, his third time conceding multiple goals in his last five matches. He also made just one save Saturday, his fewest since the season opener. He faces a matchup of similar difficulty next Sunday at Charlotte FC, a side which has scored nine goals in eight league matches this season.

Kervin Arriaga - Back on bench Arriaga (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Houston.
Impact Arriaga suffered the injury before a clash with Philadelphia but is now back on the bench. Arriaga is no stranger to the sideline, as injuries have plagued him in recent months. Arriaga has made just three bench appearances in 2024.

Emanuel Reynoso absent from Minnesota United again after green card issue The Loons said All-Star Emanuel Reynoso missed a green card appointment and remains in Argentina.
APRIL 9 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Emanuel Reynoso - Misses green card meeting Reynoso missed a green card meeting and is remaining in Argentina, according to Andy Greder, of Pioneer Press.
Impact Reynoso is now officially away without leave for the second time in as many seasons. The attacking midfielder clearly has some off the field issues to sort out with Minnesota and it's not clear how much patience the club will have for their star attacker. Reynoso is best considered out indefinitely until news of his return to the United States.

Sang-bin Jeong - Whips in nine crosses Sang-Bin Jeong had three shots (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake.
Impact Sang-Bin Jeong attempted a season-high nine crosses (three accurate) as Minnesota drew 1-1 with Real Salt lake. Sang-Bin Jeong has started in each of Minnesota's six matches to begin the season. He has yet to contribute to a goal in 2024, but his play has notably taken a different shape than that of the previous season. Sang-Bin Jeong has already attempted 36 crosses (five accurate) over six starting appearances in 2024 after attempting 43 crosses over 23 appearances (nine starts) in all of 2023.

Robin Lod - Key late assist Lod assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Real Salt Lake.
Impact Lod provided a key assist late on in the second half Saturday to help Minnesota level the match and draw 1-1 with Real Salt Lake. Lod missed the majority of the 2023 campaign (10 starting appearances) with a significant knew injury, but he looks to have regained his former ability early on in 2024. In five starting appearances in 2024, Lod has scored twice and provided two assists. If he's able to remain fit for the duration of the season, Lod has the ability to achieve the ceiling of his production, previously realized in 2020 when he scored 10 times and provided four assists over 26 appearances (24 starts).
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Dayne St. Clair - Four saves in draw St. Clair made four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Real Salt Lake.
Impact St. Clair turned aside four of five Real Salt Lake shots on target Saturday, as Minnesota drew 1-1. Over the first six matches of the young campaign, St. Clair is averaging three saves per game, has conceded seven times and has made seven clearances. St. Clair and Minnesota will face a Houston attack next Saturday that has scored seven times in six matches.
