James Sands - Won't play against Cincinnati Sands has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Cincinnati due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Sands has been a regular presence in the starting lineup for NYCFC, either as a center-back or a central midfielder, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt the side. Justin Haak and Alfredo Morales are options to replace him ahead of a tough matchup against the Eastern Conference leaders.

Impact Moralez is making a return to the MLS after spending half the year with his boyhood team Racing Club in Argentina. He made 23 appearances in all competitions, totaling a goal and three assists while leading the team to a Supercopa International title. He is noted as one of the best players in New York City F.C history, recording 32 goals and 56 assists across six seasons while also taking the team to their first MLS Cup victory in 2021 and their first international trophy in 2022. The midfielder will surely make the starting XI with a whole new integrated attack, with the new signings of Mounsef Bakrar, Alonso Martinez and Andres Perea.

Alfredo Morales - Continues to start Morales generated one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Philadelphia Union.

Impact Morales has started the last nine matches, mainly to fill the void of James Sands while he served with the USMNT. It will be tough to see the midfielder try to keep his starting role with Sands back and Parks starting in every match thus far, but could be the first option to start if needed over Matias Pellegrini.
