Anthony Fontana - Progressing in training Fontana passed a heading test in Friday's training session during his recovery from a concussion, according to Joe Tansey of Fox Philadelphia.

Impact Fontana is close to returning with each passing session but he likely won't be available until he's gotten a few sessions under his belt past these fitness checks.

Alvas Powell - Returning to training Saturday Powell is expected to return to training Saturday, according to Joe Tansey of Fox Philadelphia.

Impact Powell has yet to play since the Gold Cup finished and may not have enough time to prepare for Sunday's trip to New England. Even when fit, Powell is primarily the backup to Olivier Mbaizo and won't play too frequently.

Cory Burke - Dealing with hamstring tightness Burke is dealing with hamstring tightness but is expected to be available in Sunday's trip to New England, according to Joe Tansey of Fox Philadelphia.

Impact Burke has played in the last couple of matches since returning from the Gold Cup and only logged 24 minutes in his most recent appearance against Toronto FC. Given this news, he may not be able to start against a tough Revs club, though the final decision may come closer to game time.

Andre Blake - Saves PK in shutout victory Blake made one save coming from a penalty en route to a clean sheet in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Blake only made one save in this one but what a save it was. He finally snaps a three-match streak with a goal allowed and with seven clean sheets already this campaign remains as one of the top options at his position.

Kai Wagner - Holds clean sheet in win Wagner had a clean sheet, one shot (off target), nine crosses (two accurate), two aerials won, two interceptions and four corners in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact After scoring his first goal of the season last match Wagner now adds a clean sheet and has been on fire over that mini-stint with six shots, six chances created and whopping 27 crosses off of 15 corners. The full-back also has two assists from earlier in the season and set pieces give him a very solid floor.

Olivier Mbaizo - Sends six crosses in shutout win Mbaizo had a clean sheet, one shot (off target), six crosses (one accurate), three tackles (none won) and two clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Mbaizo finally held his first clean sheet in eight matches since June and has now racked up five shutouts this campaign. The full-back though has been very active offensively despite the porous defensive displays of his team and has two assists on 10 chances created and 34 crosses over his past six outings alone.

Jakob Glesnes - Scores in shutout win Glesnes scored on one of his two shots (one on target), held a clean sheet and added one tackle won and four clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Glesnes delivered a brilliant stat line here. He finally snaps his dry spells in major contributions on both sides of the ball and snatches his third goal of the season and seventh clean sheet as he also has one assist from earlier in the campaign and has been a fantasy monster.

Jack Elliott - Keeps clean sheet for victory Elliott had a clean sheet, two shots (one on target), two aerials won, two tackles (both won), four interceptions and three clearances in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Elliott finally holds first clean sheet in eight matches since June as he also hasn't scored or assisted since then. The defender though has been active going forward of late taking multiple shots in three of last four outings. He's also been productive in defensive peripheral stats.

Jose Martinez - Dishes first assist of season Martinez tallied one assist, one dribble and one tackle won in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Martinez set up one of the goals for his team to finally grab his first major congtribution of the campaign. The holding midfielder though added very little elsewhere and has been very quiet statistically of late even in peripheral stats.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Santos - Scores in win over Toronto Santos scored on four shots (two on target) and hauled in two crosses (none accurate), three dribbles and three fouls drawn in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact After failing to start in a couple of matches, Santos is back in the lineup and back on the score sheet. The forward is now up to four goals this season with three of them coming over the past month alone along with an assist but his inconsistent starting role makes him a risky factor in long-term formats.

Daniel Gazdag - Converts PK, assists in 3-0 rout Gazdag converted a penalty on one of his two shots (both on target), tallied one assist and hauled in two chances created, five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesda...

Impact Gazdag was clinical from the spot to finally grab his first score of the season. He turned in a brilliant display and also set up another of his team's goal to record his second assist thisd season. He's been very productive in peripheral stats and set pieces offer his fantasy owners a very solid floor.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kacper Przybylko - Takes two shots versus Toronto Przybylko had two shots (one on target), two dribbles and two aerials won in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Toronto FC.

Impact Przybylko has now been fairly quiet in back to back matches taking just one shot on target in that stint. The forward though scored in three consecutive outings before that and with a total of six scores on the season thus far will remain with a solid upside.
