Oriol Rosell - Playing off bench Rosell has started one of the last five matches and come off the bench in the other four, failing to make the score-sheet.

Impact Rosell is recovered from injury, but he doesn't have a firm role in the squad unless needed on a short week. Even when in the XI, he plays more of a defensive midfield role which led to no shots or crosses in 76 minutes of his only start this season.

Joao Moutinho - Starting against Toronto Moutinho (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Toronto.

Impact Moutinho is immediately back in the starting XI at his usual spot Saturday after missing the last three matches because of a hip issue. It's unclear if he's ready for a full 90, as he's made it the entire way just two times this season, so that's the main worry for the left-back.

Pedro Gallese - Returns to Orlando City training Gallese returned to training with Orlando City on Thursday after returning from international duty with Peru during Copa America, according to Mike Gramajo of MLS.

Impact Gallese had a long run to the third-place game with Peru, and while it's possible he's given a bit of a break, it seems more likely that he'll slot back into the starting XI for Saturday's match against Toronto, which would push Brandon Austin to the bench.

Andres Perea - Scores first goal of season Perea bagged a goal in Wednesday's loss against Chicago. He finished with one shot on target and two chances created.

Impact Perea started with Mauricio Pereyra not being 100 percent fit and was able to score his first goal of the match.

Nani - Creates two chances Nani took one shot off target and created two chances off the bench in Wednesday's loss against Chicago. He also sent two crosses and two corners.

Brandon Austin - Concedes three goals Austin conceded three goals, made one save and added one clearance in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Chicago.

Impact Austin has allowed multiple goals in three of his five starts this season and has gone three straight matches without a clean sheet. The young shot-stopper has allowed eight goals in five matches, but his tenure as a starter should be short-lived. Pedro Gallese should be back in the XI once he's back from his international duty.
