Robin Jansson - Suffers broken nose in win Jansson suffered a broken nose during Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia but manager Oscar Pareja "isn't too worried about him," according to Julia Poe of the Orlando Sentinel.
Impact Jansson may miss one game, but this prognosis suggests he doesn't need more than a mask to get onto the field. If he can't play at all, Antonio Carlos could get a chance to return to the lineup.

Pedro Gallese - Concedes one in win Gallese conceded one goal and made four saves during Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Gallese got back to winning ways with a strong performance against one of the better sides in the entire league. He's conceded more than one goal in just one game all season and still has only one loss on his record, which puts him among the better goalies in the entire league. That strong record will be put to the test against NYCFC, which have scored 21 goals in 13 matches.

Benji Michel - Gets goal in win Michel scored one goal on his only shot during 78 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Michel has started each of the last three matches, taking six total shots and scoring this one goal. Though five starts this season, Michel has scored a reasonable three goals. It remains to be seen if he'll continue in a starting role, but his production shows it may not be such a bad idea. Up next is a trip to NYCFC, which have conceded just 15 goals in 13 matches.

Mauricio Pereyra - Assists in win Pereyra provided one assist and one secondary assist during 73 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Pereyra has yet to complete a full 90 this season but he's scored or assisted in every third match all season long. This means that timing is key when picking Pereyra, given how little he may otherwise produce. Up next is a trip to NYCFC, which have conceded 15 goals in 13 matches.
JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Andres Perea - Scores in another start Perea scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and created one chance during Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Perea has started in seven of the last eight matches but more importantly has scored in two of his last three appearances, both of which came in starts. While his place in the lineup for this game was. tied to Jhegson Mendez suffering an injury, Perea is still proving he's plenty reliable in his own right. He'll next face NYCFC, which doesn't concede many chances to midfielders.
JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nani - Logs assist in win Nani provided one assist from one chance created and put one shot off target during Thursday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Nani hasn't gone more than one start in a row with scoring or assisting all season and he kept up that streak by setting up Andres Perea's game-winning goal. While in prior seasons he often wouldn't play when games were only four days apart, Nani recently scored three goals in eight days to finish out June. This should give him plenty of confidence heading into Sunday's trip to NYCFC, which have conceded 15 goals in 13 matches.

Antonio Carlos - Makes bench Thursday Carlos (groin) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Philadelphia.
Impact Carlos only missed a couple weeks with a groin issue and he's back in the squad Thursday. He started the first 11 matches of the season and assuming he's healthy, he could return to the XI for Sunday's trip to NYC FC, possibly taking the spot of Rodrigo Schlegel.

Impact Mueller has been one of the rising stars on the United States national team and in MLS with scored 20 goals and provided 17 assists over his four professional seasons. It will be interesting to see if he's successful in making the jump to a European league, though that won't be something to worry about until after the 2021 campaign has completed.

Pedro Gallese - Concedes one in return Gallese conceded one goal and made two saves during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
Impact Gallese just returned from Copa America duty with Peru and immediately slotted back into the starting lineup. With four clean sheets and only five goals conceded in eight starts this season, Gallese is having one of the better performances of any goalie in the league so far.

Chris Mueller - Plays second half in draw Mueller created one chance while playing in the second half of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
Impact Mueller has come off the bench in two straight matches but still created three chances in 55 minutes. After replacing Tesho Akindele following the break, Mueller could easily work his way back into the team in a new position at striker should the cards fall in his favor. Until that happens, it's imperative that Mueller returns to the starting lineup in order to maintain his value.

Kyle Smith - Logs five crosses in draw Smith created two chances from five crosses (two accurate), won three-of-four tackles and took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
Impact Smith does well to balance out his solid defensive numbers with a handful of crosses in each game and that's what he was able to do in an even contest. While expecting him to consistently produce offensively isn't as likely, keep an eye out for Smith when looking for a solidly active defensive fullback.
JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tesho Akindele - Starts in draw Akindele logged 45 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
Impact Akindele has started each of the last two matches but after an impressive stretch between May and late-June, he's only put one shot on goal in his last five starts. As long as Daryl Dike is out for his international obligations, Akindele has better odds to start, though he needs to get back on track.
JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nani - Scores from spot in draw Nani scored a penalty goal from six total shots (three on goal) and created one chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Toronto FC.
Impact Nani hasn't gone more than a single match in a row without scoring this season and he got back on the board after coming off the bench against Chicago. It will be worth seeing if Nani can keep up the pace against better sides in the standings, though he has enough support to maintain his production floor in any game.
