Not called up for Gold Cup Leal hasn't been called up by Costa Rica for the Gold Cup and will remain with Nashville, according to Wes Boling of Nashville SC Radio.

Impact Leal's availability for the next month is all but secure, though it's unclear if he'll be playing Saturday against Philadelphia. If that happens, recent rest should see him return to the lineup over Luke Haakenson.

Called up by Costa Rica Leal has been called up to the Costa Rican national team for their Gold Cup preparations, his federation announced Monday.

Impact Leal will likely miss the next month of MLS matches unless he doesn't make the final roster. Fortunately, Luke Haakenson has proven to be a capable starter on the left side of the midfield and will absorb some of Leal's minutes until he's back

Assists late Leal provided one secondary assist off the bench during Saturday's one-all draw with Montreal.

Impact Leal came on the pitch to try and find the equalizer, and ended up playing key role, sending in four inaccurate crosses before getting the secondary helper on the tying goal. The midfielder had a strong showing off the bench, and will hope to consistently see playing time from here on out. Next up is a Saturday showdown with Philadelphia.

Drops form in 2-0 loss Leal took one shot (one on target) and made one tackle (none won) in the 2-0 loss to Red Bulls on Friday.

Impact Leal went unnoticed throughout the majority of the match Friday. The midfielder has been in a downward spiral for the past two to three appearances now. Prior to his drop of form in the five appearances he averaged, 3.6 shots, 2.0 created chances, 4.6 crosses, 0.6 corners and 2.4 tackles per 90 minutes. Since his drop of form in three appearances he is averaging, 1.66 shots, 1.66 crosses, 0.33 corners and 1.33 tackles per 90 minutes. For how dynamic Leal is, it is truly surprising how poorly he is currently playing. Until he can regain form, there are better options to choose from in Nashville.
