Returns to bench Lima (groin) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty win over Nashville.

Impact Lima has returned to the team sheet after dealing with a groin issue, as he appeared on the bench Tuesday. However, he didn't earn a single minute of play, going unused for 90 minutes. Still, this should be positive news for the club, as he should be considered fit now and is likely to return to his starting role at right-back within the next few matches.

Questionable with groin issues Lima (groin) is questionable for Saturday's match against Seattle.

Impact Lima's injury leaves the Revs in a tough spot, as they will hope for him to feature, only missing two starts all season. That said, if he is left out, it will force a change, with Andrew Farrell being his likely replacement. However, if he passes his fitness test, the right-back will probably remain in the starting XI.

Despite pushing forward from his right-back spot, the defender has yet to score or assist in nine matches played this season. On the opposite end of the field, he's averaging 2.0 clearances and 1.3 tackles per game, while the clean sheet against Chicago was his second of the campaign.

Impact Lima has this major role for a third season in a row with Austin and is one of the most consistent pieces of the starting XI. He will hope to continue this role heading into 2024, and build on his career-high of four goal contributions that he has now produced four times. Lima doesn't have any sky-high upside, but he is an option with talent and a solid floor.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Registers assist Lima registered an assist and attempted six crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against San Jose.

Assist in win Lima assisted once to go with six crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Thursday's 3-0 victory versus FC Dallas.

Impact Lima assisted on a 58th minute goal by Gyasi Zardes to bag his second assist of the season. The wing-back has started the last six games for Austin FC and has been a constant threat in the attack over this span of games, generating at least three chances created in four of those six games. He also has been crucial in the crosses department, supplying 24 in those six games.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up Zardes' record goal Lima assisted once to go with four crosses (three accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo.

Impact Lima will go down as history as the player who set up Gyasi Zardes' 100th-career MLS goal, and the right wing-back was a constant threat going forward for Austin despite the loss. This was his first assist of the season, but it's worth noting he has created at least three chances in three of his last six league outings.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Three clearances in start Lima made three clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the Rapids.

Impact Lima lined up in a back-three Saturday for his second start of the season, but that was largely due to international window absences and he is firmly the backup option to Jon Gallagher at right-back in Austin.
