Hany Mukhtar - Dangerous off benchMukhtar registered five shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Chicago Fire.

ImpactPerhaps in preparation for Nashville SC's midweek game against a better Philadelphia team, this was Mukhtar's first substitution appearance since March 5. But in 45 minutes, Mukhtar did enough to be the only Nashville player to attempt more than three crosses and three shots Sunday.

ImpactZimmerman was suspended for Saturday's loss to the Fire after getting sent off in the previous match against D.C., but he'll be available to return to the squad this week. Due to various injuries and international call-ups, Zimmerman has started just three of Nashville's last 12 league matches since the start of May.

Arnaud Souquet - Available after suspensionSouquet will be eligible to feature in Wednesday's clash against CF Montreal after serving a red card suspension.

ImpactSouquet missed Saturday's win over Nashville after getting sent off in the previous match versus Orlando, but he should be back in the XI ahead of Jonathan Dean at right-back to face Montreal in midweek.

Xherdan Shaqiri - Attempts four crossesShaqiri registered four crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Nashville SC.

Maren Haile-Selassie - Records assistHaile-Selassie assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 win over Nashville SC.

ImpactHaile-Selassie now has multiple assists across the 2023 MLS season. This summer has been rough for him so far, with more substitute appearances than starts limiting his output. But with his latest assist, Haile-Selassie will enter mid-July with at least a little bit of momentum.
