Revolution coach Bruce Arena quits after draw with Minnesota United
Franco Fragapane scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time — with an assist from goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair — and Minnesota United rallied for a 1-1 draw with the New...SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Franco Fragapane - Finally scores goal Fragapane scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against New England Revolution.
Impact Fragapane, who was used only once across nine games Minnesota United played from June 25 to September 3, logged his second appearance of the span and delivered emphatically. Surprisingly with some help by goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, who was pushed up on a last-minute corner kick, the striker scored his first goal since Oct. 9.

Emanuel Reynoso - Insane cross output Reynoso registered four shots (zero on goal), 25 crosses (three accurate) and 13 corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus New England Revolution.
Impact Currently, Reynoso is one of the MLS' best crossers, so him having a game in which he crossed a lot is not out of the ordinary. However, 25 is an absurd tally even by his high standards. It should be clear to anyone that Reynoso has the upside to cross at an unparalleled rate. While that does not always lead to assists, of which the attacking midfielder has only two so far, Reynoso is too valuable for Minnesota United not to have despite its team failing to finish at the pace at which he delivers crosses.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Strong effort in first game back Hlongwane generated five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against New England Revolution.
Impact Saturday marked Hlongwane's first since he spent three weeks recovering from a knee injury. Despite being unable to score, Hlongwane continued to show the solid attacking prowess he had regularly demonstrated before his injury. Ideally for Minnesota United, Hlongwane's scoring touch will return as the team continues its season.

Dayne St. Clair - Rare form of help Saturday St. Clair had three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus New England Revolution.
Impact St. Clair's latest numbers were relatively pedestrian in comparison to average goalkeeper numbers. Despite conceding a goal to Carles Gil, who had not scored one since June, St. Clair redeemed himself late in the game. Down one with little time remaining in the second half, St. Clair was pushed up to help score a tying goal for Minnesota United. Though the goalkeeper being pushed up does not usually work, Minnesota's decision to use that strategy worked out. St. Clair provided the pass Franco Fragapane used to score a game-levelling goal.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Starting Saturday Hlongwane (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with New England.
Impact Hlongwane is in the starting XI on Saturday, as expected after clearing the injury report earlier in the week. The forward returns directly into the starting XI and will hope to build on his six goals in 22 starts in what is shaping up to be a career year.

Brent Kallman - Doesn't train Friday Kallman (undisclosed) didn't train Friday and might be in doubt to face New England on Saturday, Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The reasons behind Kallman's absence from training are unknown, but the defender will not affect many fantasy decisions if he's ruled out. He hasn't played a league match for the Loons since July 9 while starting in just two of his seven appearances for the club in 2023, racking up 11 clearances, three tackles and one blocked shot in 195 total minutes.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Clears injury report Hlongwane (knee) was removed from the Minnesota injury report for Saturday's clash with New England.
Impact Hlongwane is expected to return barring any late Friday issues and is could even start with Teemu Pukki on international duty. When Pukki is back it's likely that Hlongwane will remain in the starting XI, instead shifting out to a wing. Hlongwane has plenty of upside in what figures to be a strong Minnesota attack.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane - Could return this weekend Hlongwane (knee) could return to face New England on Saturday after participating on training Tuesday, head coach Adrian Heath told, Jerry Zgoda of The Minnesota Star Tribune. "Hop...
Impact The star winger has missed three matches in a row, but he tested his injured knee during training Tuesday, and the results were encouraging. However, the final two training sessions of the week will be pivotal to determine whether Hlongwane will be able to suit up or not. Even if he's available off the bench, his presence should provide a massive boost upfront for Minnesota. He has six goals and one assist across 22 starts in league play this season.

Sang-bin Jeong - Summoned to international duty Sang-Bin has been called up to the South Korean U-23 national team for their upcoming U-23 Asian Cup qualifying matches and will not be available for Saturday's clash with the New...
Impact Sang-Bin has gotten the start three times in the last seven league matches, totaling an assist with seven chances created. In 17 matches this campaign the 21-year-old has a goal and an assist during his first year in Minnesota.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joseph Rosales - Joining Honduran national team Rosales has been summoned to national team duty with Honduras for their upcoming Nations League matches and is set to miss Saturday's match versus New England.
Impact Rosales has started in every league match played since May 21, totaling a goal with 41 crosses (six accurate) and 26 tackles in that span. Ethan Bristow could return to the lineup to play left back Saturday in his absence.
SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Teemu Pukki - Called to national team duty Pukki is set to link with the Finland national team for their upcoming European qualifications and will not be available for Saturday's match against New England.
Impact Pukki has scored twice in the last two matches for three goals in seven matches since moving to the MLS from Norwich City. He's also started the last six games, logging in 12 shots (five on target) in that span. Mender Garcia could be the first option to take Pukki's place int he lineup against New England on Saturday.

Emanuel Reynoso - One assist in draw Reynoso registered one assist from three chances created and attempted four shots (two on target) and seven crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw with San Jose.
Impact Reynoso followed up on his brace against Colorado with another good performance in which he registered an assist and ranked first among his teammates for both attempted crosses and shots. The attacking midfielder is his team's joint-top scorer and assister for the season despite missing much of the campaign.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Teemu Pukki - Scores again Pukki scored with his only shot and created one goal-scoring opportunity in Saturday's 1-1 draw against San Jose.
Impact Pukki scored for the second consecutive game and was extremely unlucky to have a second ruled out by a controversial handball decision. The striker now has three goals since arriving from Norwich in June and few people would bet against him netting again against New England on Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dayne St. Clair - Five saves in draw St. Clair made five saves and conceded once in Saturday's 1-1 draw with San Jose.
Impact St. Clair played his part as his team earned a point against San Jose, making two brilliant saves to deny Jamiro Monteiro and Jeremy Ebobisse. The keeper has been in good form since the season restarted, conceding just two goals and keeping two clean sheets. He next faces a difficult game against New England who sit second in the Eastern Conference.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
D.J. Taylor - Set for return Taylor is available for Saturday's clash with New England after serving a one-match ban.
Impact Taylor was handed the ban due to yellow card accumulation but is now eligible to return once more. The defender has started all but three matches in 2023 and is a near-guarantee to get back in the first XI for Saturday's match.
