Maxime Chanot - Comes off injured against Montreal Chanot was subbed out of Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal against CF Montreal in the 13th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Chanot started Sunday's game in a back-three alongside Alexander Callens and Thiago Martins, but he had to come off early in the first half due to injury. Keaton Parks is replaces him as New York City will likely revert to a back-four.

Tayvon Gray - Out against Montreal Gray is not in the match day squad to face Montreal on Sunday.

Impact Gray was a doubt in the buildup to the match, but his absence is now confirmed. It's a decent blow for City as the defender made 22 starts in the regular season helping his side to eight clean sheets.

Talles Magno - Absent from injury report Magno (shoulder) is absent from the NYC FC injury report for Sunday's trip to Montreal.

Impact Magno trained in full on Friday and is available with no injury designation for Sunday's trip. The forward would provide a much-needed boost to NYC FC's attack, though it's possible Magno is a bench option with his fitness uncertain ahead of Sunday's clash. Heber filled in for Magno against Miami.

Alfredo Morales - Out against Montreal Morales (groin) will not be available for Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal against CF Montreal, NYCFC coach Nick Cushing told Ryan Gerbosi of Newsday Sports on Friday.

Impact Morales has been sidelined for much of the last two months due to a groin injury. He was able to make an appearance off the bench on Decision Day but then was out again for the first game of the playoffs last weekend, and he will remain unavailable on Sunday. Maximiliano Moralez and Nicolas Acevedo should get the starts in defensive midfield for the conference semifinal with Keaton Parks available off the bench.

Tayvon Gray - Status uncertain for weekend Gray (undisclosed) will be a late fitness test for Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal against CF Montreal, according to NYCFC coach Nick Cushing via Ryan Gerbosi of Newsday Spor...

Impact Gray missed last weekend's Round One victory against Miami after suffering an injury on Decision Day. Gerbosi reported Friday that Cushing "seems confident" about Gray's fitness heading into the weekend, but if he's not ready to start then Anton Tinnerholm would continue at right-back.

Talles Magno - Back in training Magno (shoulder) has returned to training and is expected to be available for selection in Sunday's Eastern Conference semifinal against CF Montreal, NYCFC coach Nick Cushing told...

Impact Magno missed last weekend's Round One win over Miami after suffering a shoulder injury on Decision Day, but he could be back against Montreal on Sunday. He had tallied a combined six shots and three chances created with one goal and two assists in his last two appearances before getting injured, so his return would be a welcome boost for New York City's attack. Heber is likely to continue at center forward if Magno isn't quite fit enough to start.

Sean Johnson - Clean sheet playoff win Johnson made four saves and two clearances while keeping the sheet clean in Monday's 3-0 playoff win over Inter Miami CF.

Impact Johnson was solid throughout this one and rewarded appropriately with the clean sheet. During the regular season, the All-Star keeper logged 15 clean sheets in 35 starts. If he converts shutouts at a similar rate this postseason, NYCFC could challenge for a title defense.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Maxi Moralez - Scores in victory Moralez scored one goal on five shots (one on target), sent in eight crosses (two accurate) and took five corners during Monday's 3-0 playoff win over Inter Miami CF.

Impact Moralez delivered a strike to the bottom left from about six yards out during the 69th minute to give his NYCFC squad a 2-0 cushion in this one. The goal was assisted by Santiago Rodriguez. During the regular season, Moralez logged just two goals and six assists, but perhaps he can get on a bit of a roll during the postseason.

Heber - Scores late in playoff win Heber scored one goal on eight shots (three on target) during Monday's 3-0 playoff victory over Inter Miami FC. He added a clearance and drew two fouls.

Impact Heber was in the starting XI after appearing as a substitute his last time out. He was likely filling in for the injured Talles Magno, and he acquitted himself rather nicely. His eight shots were a team-high, and his efforts were finally rewarded during stoppage time with his eighth goal of the year.

Santiago Rodriguez - Two assists in big victory Rodriguez logged two assists on two crosses (one accurate) and six chances created during Monday's 3-0 playoff victory over Inter Miami CF.

Impact Rodriguez got in behind during the 63rd minute and located an unmarked Gabriel Pereira to help initiate the scoring in this one. He then delivered a neat assist to Maxi Moralez just six minutes later, which doubled NYCFC's advantage. Across 29 starts, he tallied 10 assists during the regular season and will look to add to that tally during the next round of the playoffs. Rodriguez gave way to Matias Pellegrini during stoppage time once the game was well in-hand.

Gabriel Pereira - Nets opener in playoff win Pereira scored a goal on two shots (one on target), sent in three crosses (two accurate) and added three corners during Monday's 3-0 playoff victory over Inter Miami CF.

Impact Pereira delivered a tidy left foot snipe to the top left and opened the scoring in this contest. The goal was assisted by Santiago Rodriguez and turned out to be the difference-maker in what ultimately was a clean sheet victory for NYCFC. He was relieved in the 79th for rest by Keaton Parks and will presumably remain a focal point of the squad's attack next round versus CF Montreal.

Talles Magno - Out Monday Magno (shoulder) is not in the squad for Monday's match against Inter Miami.

Impact Magno was injured in the season finale a week ago and he apparently hasn't recovered despite not being listed on the injury report. It's clear NYC FC's injury report wasn't exactly truthful when it came out last week, as Tayvon Gray is also not in the squad. Without Magno, Heber is starting up front Monday.

Tayvon Gray - Avoids injury designation Gray (knock) is absent from the NYC FC injury report for Monday's playoff match against Inter Miami.

Impact Gray came off with a knock against Atlanta on Decision Day, but it appears it was a minor injury he was able to work through. The defender is fully available for Monday and coming off 27 appearances (22 starts) in the regular season it's likely he finds his way straight back into the starting XI.

Talles Magno - Absent from injury report Magno is absent from the NYC FC injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Inter Miami.

Impact Magno heads into the playoffs with no injury designation after coming off injured on Decision Day. The midfielder should be straight in the starting XI and is a major candidate to go the full 90. Magno finished the regular season with seven goals and eight assists during 34 appearances (32 starts).
