Jacob Shaffelburg - Produces six crosses Shaffelburg registered two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-0 defeat versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Shaffelburg produced six crosses in Wednesday's game, matching a season high for him this season. The 23-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup much of this season, appearing as a rotation player more than anything. He has only scored three goals in his 19 appearances this season and will have to produce more if he wants a promotion as a normal starter.

Hany Mukhtar - Takes five shots in loss Mukhtar had five shots (one on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Thursday's 2-0 loss against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Mukhtar was unfortunate not to score Wednesday after firing multiple shots that skipped off the woodwork and missed being a goal by inches. Despite not scoring the 28-year-old was still effective in the attack, producing five shots, eight crosses and four chances created. The German has hit a bit of a cold spell recently, only having one goal contribution in the last five games. Nashville will be looking for a big game from Mukhtar in their next match as they take on Cincinnati in a huge top of the league battle.

Joe Willis - Allows two in loss Willis had three saves and allowed two goals in Thursday's 2-0 defeat against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Willis was unlucky in Wednesday's game as he had to face two penalty kicks which were converted. Despite those two penalty kicks Willis looked decent making three saves. His next match will be a decisive one as he faces first place Cincinnati who have scored 36 goals in 22 matches this season.

Shaq Moore - Suspended Saturday Moore is set to serve a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation and will not be an option for Saturday's clash with Cincinnati.

Impact Moore has been one of the better players for Nashville, recording three assists on 68 crosses (19 won) along with 63 tackles (36 won) thus far. With Daniel Lovitz also suspended and Jack Maher questionable, this will cause several chances to the lineup, with Alex Muyl likely to move back to the right back position, with Josh Bauer an option to play at center back alongside Walker Zimmerman and Lukas MacNaughton.

Jack Maher - Status unclear Maher (lower body) is questionable for Saturday's match against Cincinnati.

Impact Maher was forced to miss his first match of the season after picking up a lower body injury. He had been a part of every minute this season prior to Wednesday, averaging about 3.3 clearances per game. If the defender has to sit out again, then Lukas MacMaughton will take his place at center back again.

Impact Perhaps 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.

Randall Leal - Attempts 11 crosses Leal had two shots (zero on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Chicago Fire.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walker Zimmerman - Can return from suspension Zimmerman will be eligible to feature in Wednesday's clash against the Union after serving a red card suspension.

Randall Leal - Bags brace in 2-0 win Leal scored two goals in Saturday's 2-0 win over D.C. United.

Impact Leal was in fine form on Saturday, notching his first two goals since reentering the starting lineup four games ago. He should continue to be a primary attacking threat for Nashville, and Leal has a good road matchup at Chicago in his next fixture.
