Alejandro Bedoya - Exits late Wednesday Bedoya was forced off in the 79th minute of Wednesday's match against Columbus with what manager Jim Curtin called a "knock."

Impact While it may only be a knock for Bedoya, it's a loaded schedule, which means he could be rested for Saturday's match. If that's the case, Quinn Sullivan could draw a rare start in the midfield unless Curtin opts to turn elsewhere.

Sergio Santos - Good for Wednesday Santos was forced off against Atlanta over the weekend with a possible concussion, but he passed protocol and is good for Wednesday's game against Columbus.

Impact Santos should be back in the starting XI Wednesday after only going 45 minutes last match. He's scored just one goal this season, but he's started six of the last eight matches. The downside is that he gets subbed off early in every game, playing more than 62 minutes just once.

Daniel Gazdag - Hopes to return soon Gazdag avoided structural damage in the knee injury that kept him out of Hungary's team for the Euros, manager Jim Curtin told the media in Tuesday's press conference.

Impact Gazdag is out indefinitely for the moment but at least he shouldn't be out for multiple months or the whole season. He's only made one appearance since joining Philadelphia but has good goalscoring pedigree in his past.

Anthony Fontana - In concussion protocol Fontana will miss Wednesday's match against Columbus while in concussion protocol, according to his team's pre-match injury report.

Impact If the concussion was picked up in Sunday's draw with Atlanta United, then Fontana is likely to miss this game against the Crew and Saturday's trip to Chicago. He's only made four starts this season and has two shots on goal two his name. For as long as Fontana is out, Jamiro Monteiro has a good chance of moving back into the attacking-midfield spot.

Andre Blake - Concedes two in draw Blake conceded two goals and made five saves during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Blake was first beaten by an own goal before a corner doubled the advantage for the hosts. Fortunately, his teammates came back to bail him out with some impressive scores of their own, so Blake could preserve his undefeated run over the last six matches. With games against bottom-half scorers in Columbus, Chicago and Nashville, Blake should still be in good shape to remain one of the best goalkeepers in MLS and in fantasy.

Jakob Glesnes - Saves game with rocket goal Glesnes scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Glesnes seems to only score impressive goals from distance and he did just that with an equalizing strike so strong it bounced between the crossbar and ground three times before entering the goal. Seeing as this wasn't the best defensive performance for Glesnes, it's a good thing he has this kind of goal in his arsenal of skills when other areas are lacking. With three clean sheets kept in his his last four starts, Glesnes will next face Columbus, which are tied for the fifth-fewest goals scored in MLS.

Jamiro Monteiro - Records another assist Monteiro recorded one assist from two chances created and conceded a yellow card during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Monteiro is firmly in the race to lead the league in assist after recording his fourth in six matches. Even with a tough game upcoming against Columbus, Monteiro may just be in enough form to overcome the challenge.

Cory Burke - Scores in draw Burke scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) while playing in the second half of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Burke has only started in two of the last five matches but has recorded two goals and one assist over that span. It's hard to break into the lineup right now with Kacper Przybylko and Sergio Santos offering one of the better pairings in the league, but Burke could have a strong case for himself if he keeps up the pace. Up next is a visit from Columbus, which are tied for the second-fewest goals conceded in the league.

Kacper Przybylko - Concedes own goal in draw Przybylko took two shots (one on goal) and conceded an own goal during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.

Impact Przybylko kept up his recent run of getting involved on the scoresheet but this time it wasn't in the way he would've liked as he flicked a corner into his own net. Since scoring his first goal of the season, Przybylko hasn't gone more than a single game without scoring in his last five appearances. He'll look to maintain that streak in the next game against Columbus, which are tied for the second-fewest goals conceded in the league.
