Kai Wagner - Impressive in loss Wagner created four chances from 16 crosses (four accurate) and won five-of-five tackles during Friday's 1-0 loss to New England.

Impact Wagner has stepped up his game in recent weeks with at least 10 crosses in each of his last three starts. If the attack can improve when the international break ends, things could get even better for Wagner. Up next is a visit from Orlando City, which have conceded 24 goals in 21 games.

Paxten Aaronson - Logs four shots in loss Aaronson took four shots (three on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Friday's 1-0 loss to New England.

Impact Aaronson has only started two matches all season but impressed in both of them. Whether or not he remains a starter when the international break remains to be seen, but he's certainly with following whenever he gets the chance to start.

Kacper Przybylko - Still without goal Przybylko took five shots (two on goal) during Friday's 1-0 loss to New England.

Sergio Santos - Makes bench Friday Santos (hamstring) is on the bench for Friday's game against the Revolution.

Impact As expected, Santos makes the bench and will be an option for the coaching staff -- particularly if things get complicated in the second half. His versatility to play on both flanks is particularly helpful in this 4-2-3-1 setting the manager is testing.

Alejandro Bedoya - Questionable against New England Bedoya (ankle) will be a game time decision for Friday's clash against the Revolution.

Olivier Mbaizo - Away on international duty Mbaizo is away on international duty with Cameroon and will miss Friday's match against New England.

Jamiro Monteiro - Produces four crosses in loss Monteiro created one chance, delivered four crosses, made two interceptions, drew three fouls and made one clearance in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus DC United.

Impact Monteiro did not have a particularly positive offensive outing Saturday as he failed to make it on the scoresheet and failed to attempt a single shot in 73 minutes. The midfielder has now failed to find the back of the net since Jun. 23. However, he usually manages to rack up offensive stats due to his role on set pieces. He will look to bounce back Friday versus New England Revolution.

Andre Blake - Makes six saves in loss Blake made six saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus DC United.

Impact Blake had a busy game Saturday as he was forced to make six saves, but it was not enough to help his side take home at least a point. The keeper has now registered two clean sheets in his last five appearances, along with producing 15 saves and allowing six goals in the same time span.
