James Sands - Comes off injured against New England Sands was subbed out of Tuesday's Eastern Conference semifinal victory against the Revolution in the 82nd minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made a clearance and an inte...

Impact It is unclear as of yet whether Sands' injury is serious enough that it could affect his playing time in Sunday's Eastern Conference Final against Philadelphia. With Nicolas Acevedo (lower body) likely out, either Tony Rocha or Gedion Zelalem could fill in for him in defensive midfield if necessary.

Sean Johnson - Concedes two goals against New England Johnson made two saves but conceded two goals in Tuesday's 2-2 (5-3 after penalties) Eastern Conference semifinal victory against the Revolution.

Impact Johnson was beaten by strikes from Adam Buksa and Tajon Buchanan on Tuesday, but he got his revenge by saving Buksa's penalty in the shootout and upsetting the record-setting Revolution to advance to the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday. He will face the Union, which scored 48 goals in the regular season.

Gudmundur Thorarinsson - Records assist in win Thorarinsson subbed into Tuesday's Eastern Conference semifinal against New England in the 101st minute, and he assisted a goal and won one of one tackles in the 2-2 (5-3 after pen...

Impact Thorarinsson set up Valentin Castellanos' extra time goal with a cross, just a few minutes after subbing in for his first MLS appearance in over a month since recovering from a lower body injury. He will likely remain an option off the bench for Sunday's Eastern Conference Final against Philadelphia, unless Tayvon Gray's injury forces him to miss the game.

Impact Gray set up Santiago Rodriguez's early goal on Tuesday with a cross, but he missed the final few minutes of his side's eventual win against the Revs on the sideline with an injury deep in extra time, after NYCFC had already used all of its subs. It remains to be seen how severe the injury is, but it is likely just a cramp that he will recover from in time for Sunday's Eastern Conference Final against Philadelphia.

Impact Rodriguez opened the scoring in the third minute on Tuesday with an excellent half-volley, his first MLS goal since mid-September. He will have to take on a bigger attacking responsibility in the absence of Valentin Castellanos (suspension) in Sunday's Eastern Conference Final against the Union, which conceded just 35 goals in the regular season.

Valentin Castellano - Scores goal, sent off against Revs Castellanos took four shots and scored a goal in Tuesday's Eastern Conference semifinal against New England. But he was sent off in the 113th minute following a foul on Brandon Bye...

Impact Castellanos headed in his 21st goal of the season on Tuesday, and his eighth goal in his last six games. But he will be suspended for Sunday's Eastern Conference Final against Philadelphia, and his side will have to deal with the MVP candidate's absence, and could possibly look to Heber, Talles Magno or Ismael Tajouri-Shradi to try to fill the shoes of the 2021 Golden Boot winner.
