Lewis Morgan - Upgraded to questionable Morgan (hip) is listed as questionable in New York's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Crew.

Impact Morgan was initially ruled out against Columbus in the Red Bulls' injury report, but it seems like he's doing better and could be a late fitness test for the game on Saturday.

Dante Vanzeir - Not ready to start yet Vanzeir is still building up his fitness and will likely continue coming off the bench in the near future, according to Red Bulls manager Gerhard Struber on Thursday.

Impact Vanzeir was New York's marquee signing this offseason from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise, but Struber told reporters Thursday that "We work with him every day on the physical standpoint but also on the principles. We continue to see the gap in team training. I want to bring him in when he is ready to be a starter. We don't want to risk an injury." Expect to see Cory Burke and Elias Manoel remain the starting forwards for the time being, with Vanzeir slowly continuing to get more time as a substitute while he continues working on his physicality.

Lewis Morgan - Ruled out against Columbus Morgan (hip) will not be an option for Saturday's match against the Columbus Crew.

Impact Morgan will be forced to sit out Saturday after picking up a hip injury. He has had a surprisingly slow start to the season, failing to record a goal on 12 shots (four on target) in the first three matches of the year. Daniel Edelman or Omir Fernandez will probably start in the midfield alongside Cristian Casseres, Frankie Amaya and Luquinhas.

Kyle Duncan - Creates chance in start Duncan made a clearance, an interception and won one of three tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United. He also created a chance in the match.

Impact Duncan returned to the starting lineup for the first time this season on Saturday after recovering from a groin injury, and he should be the preferred option at right-back over Cameron Harper moving forward.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Casseres Jr - Creates five chances in draw Casseres completed three accurate crosses and created five chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United.

Impact Casseres pushed out to the right wing of a 4-2-3-1 formation on Saturday rather than his usual spot in midfield of a 4-4-2. He has tallied three shots (two on target) and seven chances created through three matches this season, but the Red Bulls have scored just one goal as a team.

Lewis Morgan - Takes six shots against Minnesota Morgan took six shots (two on target) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United.

Impact Morgan has now taken six shots in two out of three games this season, but the Red Bulls have scored just one goal as a team thus far. Morgan is primarily a left winger but he lined up in attacking midfield on Saturday.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cory Burke - Creates three chances in draw Burke took two shots and created three chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Burke started his first game for the Red Bulls on Saturday and was very active as a lone striker before being hooked after 65 minutes for Dante Vanzeir.

John Tolkin - First assist of season Tolkin had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing eight times (one accurate) and making three tackles (winning one) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Minnesota.

Lewis Morgan - Fully fit for weekend Morgan is back to full fitness heading into Saturday's clash against Minnesota United, according to Red Bulls manager Gerhard Struber in his press conference Thursday.

Impact Morgan put in a subdued first-half performance against Nashville last weekend and was hooked at the break in favor of Kyle Duncan. But Struber says Morgan will be fully available to start on the left wing against Minnesota on Saturday.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Harper - Out with concussion Harper will miss Saturday's clash against Minnesota United while in the concussion protocols, according to the Red Bulls' injury report.

Impact Harper suffered a concussion in last weekend's draw against Nashville SC and has now been ruled out for the Minnesota game. Kyle Duncan is regaining fitness and likely would have taken over as the starting right-back Saturday anyway.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dante Vanzeir - Quiet in club debut off bench Vanzeir subbed in and played the final 15 minutes or so of Saturday's 0-0 draw against Nashville SC.

Impact Vanzeir made his MLS debut against a strong defense in Nashville on Saturday, and he wasn't able to be the difference-maker. He is still working his way up to speed with his new team after transferring from Belgium in the offseason, but he should take over from Tom Barlow as a starter in the front-two soon enough.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Luquinhas - Creates three chances in draw Luquinhas created three chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Nashville SC.

Impact Luquinhas was one of his side's few bright spots on attack on Saturday but still had to settle for a scoreless draw with Nashville. He has started both of New York's first two games of the campaign on the right wing of a 4-4-2 formation.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Harper - Starts at right back Harper contributed to a clean sheet at the starting right back in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Harper has been converted into a right back and has logged consecutive starts to begin the 2023 campaign. The Red Bulls have conceded just one goal (from a PK) through two games, which bodes well for Harper to continue to play a part going forward.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andres Reyes - Contributes to clean sheet Reyes made four clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nashville SC. He also committed four fouls.

Impact Reyes was fortunate not to collect a yellow card for the second consecutive match. He did his part defensively and looks to be locked in as the starting center back next to Sean Nealis.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

John Tolkin - Active on both ends in shutout Tolkin took two shots, created two chances, and sent in five crosses in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nashville.

Impact Tolkin continues to flash his upside on both sides of the ball. He continues to stand over a notable share of set pieces, making for a high-upside defensive option any time he steps on the field.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Nealis - Strong defensively in shutout Nealis made seven clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Nealis has been an anchor at the back for the Red Bulls, as they have allowed just one shot on goal through their first two games of the 2023 campaign. Up next is a tough road test against a Minnesota United side that could continue to be without key playmaker Emanuel Reynoso.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Miguel - Keeps first clean sheet of season Coronel kept a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nashville SC.

Impact Coronel had little trouble in seeing out his first clean sheet of 2023, finishing with zero saves for the second consecutive match. Up next is a tough road fixture at Minnesota United, who won their season opener 1-0 at FC Dallas.
