Mitja Ilenic - Summoned for youth team Ilenic was called up by the Slovenian U-19 team for international friendlies.
Impact Ilenic has surprisingly earned a spot in the starting XI, and is now turning that into an international call up. The defender will miss a Saturday trip to Houston, but could return as soon as an April 1 trip to New England. Tayvon Gray will likely take over at right-back.

Thiago - Scores as sub Thiago scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) in Saturday's 3-2 victory over D.C. United.
Impact Thiago came off the bench and scored what was eventually the game-winning goal in just 10 minutes of playing time. With Matias Pellegrini, Santiago Rodriguez and Gabriel Pereria the established offensive midfielders, this leaves Thiago off the lineup, but will surely be the first option off the bench and to start when needed.

It has been a challenge for the Brazilian to move to the forward position since the departure of Valentin Castellanos last summer, scoring just three times and assisting twice since. However, after getting his first goal early in the season, the 20-year-old should begin to get more comfortable with the position while looking to bring his average shots per game up with 1.5 at the moment.

He was all over the stat sheet Saturday, however he failed to get his first goal of the year despite two clear chances in front of the net.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thiago Martins Bueno - Seven clearances in win Martins had seven clearances and three tackles (one won) in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Inter Miami CF.
Impact Martins was the anchor in the back for the team, making huge plays to help keep the clean sheet Saturday. With the departure of Alexander Callens, Martins will be a regular starting center back alongside Maxine Chanot for the season, especially after totaling 17 clearances in just the first three matches of the year.
MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tayvon Gray - Quiet in return Gray recorded nine passes in Sunday's 1-0 win against Inter Miami CF. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 77th minute.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Barraza - Three saves in win Barraza made three saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Inter Miami CF.
Impact Barraza recorded his first clean sheet of the season after making three huge saves Saturday.

Alfredo Morales - Makes bench Saturday Morales is on the bench for Saturday's game against Inter Miami.
Impact Morales has yet to log a single minute this season, but the fact that he will be available off the bench is a positive sign given he missed last weekend's game with a lower body injury.
MARCH 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tayvon Gray - Available off bench Saturday Gray (lower body) will be available off the bench Saturday against Inter Miami.
Impact Gray recovered in time to make the squad, but he will be an option off the bench. Mitja Ilenic will start on the right side of the defense.

Tayvon Gray - Questionable for Saturday Gray (lower body) is in doubt for Saturday's match against Inter Miami, reports Glenn Crooks of New York City F.C Network.
Impact Gray is still dealing with a lower back injury suffered against Nashville on Feb 25 and will be a big doubt for the team's home opener Saturday. This gives the 18-year-old Mitja Ilenic another chances to start if needed, who will share playing time with Gray in right back this season.

Impact Thiago started on the left wing in the 2023 campaign opener, but he was brought off the bench in favor of Andres Jasson in the position against Chicago on Saturday. Thiago seems likely to continue rotating in and out of the lineup this season while NYCFC may also try to add another attacker to the squad from the transfer market.
MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matias Pellegrini - Takes shot in draw Pellegrini took a shot on target and created a chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Fire. He also made a clearance and won two of four tackles in the match.
Impact Pellegrini has started both of NYCFC's first two games of the season, taking four shots and creating two chances from attacking midfield across the pair of matches. But the recent return of Santiago Rodriguez should push Pellegrini into a backup option in the position moving forward.
