Walker Zimmerman - Starts against Toronto Zimmerman (knee) is in the starting XI to face Toronto on Wednesday.

Impact Zimmerman was questionable prior to this game but recovered in time to take Brent Kallman's place in the back three. In case he's ready for significant playing time, Zimmerman could be reliable for defensive stats and aerial play, while looking to add to his lone goal in 214 minutes played this year.

Walker Zimmerman - In question for Toronto match Zimmerman (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Toronto.

Impact Zimmerman is once again affected by an injury after already missing six games in the early season due to complications. He has only started in two of his five appearances this season, so his absence shouldn't be a major loss. However, with Shaq Moore also questionable for the match, they will hope for at least one of them to be fit, likely giving the start to one of them, depending on their statuses.

Tyler Boyd - Picks up hip issues Boyd is questionable for Wednesday's match against Toronto due to a hip issue, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Boyd will be a late call for Wednesday's match, likely facing a fitness test after picking up a hip issue. He has started in five of his eight appearances this season, having started in the club's last match, so they will hope he is available. However, if he isn't, Sean Davis will be his likely replacement.

Joe Willis - Concedes one in loss Willis made two saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Charlotte.

Impact Willis had another solid outing between the posts, but couldn't do much to stop Patrick Agyemang's shot that went into the far post for the goal that gave the opposition the win in the 52nd minute. The goalkeeper makes a decent numbers of saves when he starts, but the lack of clean sheets -his last one came during the season opener - clearly hurts the fantasy value he provides.

Walker Zimmerman - Four interceptions off bench in loss Zimmerman made four interceptions after coming off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Charlotte.

Impact Zimmerman was once again brought off the bench, this time replacing Brent Kallman at halftime, and had a decent level of activity, leading his team in interceptions. The center-back keeps in search of his best form after returning from the knee injury that sidelined him for one-and-a-half months, but expectation is that he'll eventually return to his status of undisputed starter.

Hany Mukhtar - Takes three shots in loss Mukhtar had three off-target shots and drew three fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Charlotte.

Impact Mukhtar was Nashville's lone source of constant offense here, bringing danger from both open play and set pieces, but he was also far from having his best day, failing to find the target in every attempt he had. This has been an unusually quiet start of campaign for Mukhtar, with just two goals and two assists over nine appearances and he'll hope to get back to his best form sooner than later.

Sam Surridge - Quiet outing versus Charlotte Surridge had zero shots and created one chance during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Charlotte.

Impact Surridge was coming off a hat trick on his previous game but wasn't even close to replicate that performance here as he even failed to attempt a single shot despite playing all 90 minutes. Before the explosion against Montreal, the striker had only two goals in seven appearances this year and fans will hope this showing wasn't a reality check but just a small setback.

Shaq Moore - Option off bench Moore (hip) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Charlotte.

Impact Moore is back on the bench after overcoming a hip issue. The defender isn't ready to make a full return, meaning Daniel Lovitz gets the start Saturday. Moore's first chance to start will be a May 15 clash with Toronto.

Shaq Moore - Earns questionable tag Moore (hip) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Charlotte.

Impact Moore was reportedly nearing a return and it appears he's now ready to make a return. The defender is questionable and could compete for a place in the starting XI on Saturday. If he's unable to do so he could target a midweek return against Toronto.

Shaq Moore - Getting closer to return Moore (hip) is progressing in his rehab and recently played 15 minutes in a behind-closed-doors game, so he's getting closer to being fit for selection, manager Gary Smith told Val...

Impact Saturday's game against Charlotte will come too soon for Moore, but the right-back could be nearing a potential return sooner rather than later. Alex Muyl should continue to start on the right side of the defense until Moore is ready to take over.

Sam Surridge - Hat-trick hero against Montreal Surridge scored three goals on six shots (three on goal) during Nashville SC's 4-1 win Saturday against CF Montreal.

Impact Surridge has his first hat-trick as an MLS footballer. With the hat-trick, he more than doubled his 2024 goal tally. Among Nashville SC's current roster, Surridge is its only player with more than three goals, showing how incredibly valuable he has been to the team.

Hany Mukhtar - Records two assists Mukhtar logged two assists on 10 crosses (three accurate) and seven corners during Nashville SC's 4-1 win Saturday against CF Montreal.

Impact One of Mukhtar's seven corners was enough for Walker Zimmerman to score a goal. The former's other assist was a short pass to Sam Surridge for his second goal Saturday. After beginning 2024 without an assist, Mukhtar has multiple of it going into mid-May.

Jacob Shaffelburg - Multiple accurate crosses again Shaffelburg logged two shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two chances created during Nashville SC's 4-1 win Saturday against CF Montreal.

Walker Zimmerman - Concedes and scores goal Zimmerman conceded and scored a goal on one shot during Nashville SC's 4-1 win Saturday against CF Montreal.

Impact Zimmerman misaimed a clearance into his team's net, resulting in Nashville SC failing to maintain a clean sheet Saturday. But by scoring a goal, his later mistake did not prove so costly. Zimmerman is only one away from equaling his goal tally of the 2023 MLS season.

Joe Willis - Records four saves Willis logged four saves despite conceding one goal during Nashville SC's 4-1 win Saturday against CF Montreal.

Impact For the first time since Nashville SC's 2024 opener, Willis saved more than three shots in an MLS game. Separately, he has logged multiple saves and conceded one goal or less once across his first six starts this year. At least for the time being, Willis' overall consistency is expected to make him a reliable option going into the remainder of May.
