Maikel Chang - On bench Wednesday Chang (ankle) is available as a substitute in Wednesday's clash against Houston Dynamo.
Impact Chang was questionable prior to this game, although he wasn't expected to get heavily involved anyway. The midfielder had previously delivered one assist over 157 minutes of play while taking a few set pieces in some of his short appearances. He may be considered as an alternative to either Diego Luna or Matty Crooks.

Cristian Arango - Starting against Dynamo Arango (concussion) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup versus Houston Dynamo.
Impact Arango managed to avoid a major concussion problem following his early withdrawal from the previous game. The striker will lead his side's front line, looking to increase his season count of 16 goals, which is still the highest figure in the competition. His presence will also limit Anderson Julio to a backup role again.

Brayan Vera - Out again Vera (not injury related) is out for Wednesday's match against Houston.
Impact Vera is missing out this week but is not dealing with an injury, as he had to be away from the club for undisclosed reasons not related to an injury. This marks his second straight match out, missing their last due to suspension. They will now look for him to return in their next contest, as he is a regular starter when on the team sheet.

Maikel Chang - Picks up ankle issues Chang (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Houston.
Impact Chang could be set for his first injury absence of the season after picking up an ankle issue and being listed as questionable. Luckily for the club, he has only started once and mainly appears off the bench, so if he misses out, his absence will be a minor issue. On the contrary, if he is an option, expect him to only serve off the bench.

Brayan Vera - Clear suspension Vera completed his one match suspension and is eligible to return for the July 3 clash with Houston.

Cristian Arango - Forced off in defeat Arango left the field due to concussion after colliding with a rival player in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Arango started as a lone center-forward but was replaced by Anderson Julio in the 21st minute Saturday. This blow represents a serious concern for the team given that Arango is the league's leading scorer with 16 goals. The star forward was on the bench only twice this season, and both times his spot was taken by Julio, so that should be the case again if the concussion prevents him from playing upcoming matchups.

Andres Gomez - Active up front Saturday Gomez generated six shots (two on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Los Angeles Galaxy. In addition, he was given a yellow card i...
Impact Gomez failed to make a direct contribution despite leading his side in shots and crosses during the defeat. It was his second scoreless game over his most recent three appearances, although he notched a brace in the other of those contests and had previously tallied eight goals and six assists in 16 matches. He'll look to remain a strong attacking threat from his usual right-wing position.
JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE
Andrew Brody - Creates three chances in loss Brody registered three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact Brody had a rather outstanding performance as he created more than two chances for the first time in 15 appearances since March 31. The right-back has started in seven of the last eight league games. However, he failed to score and only assisted once, while his team secured a couple of clean sheets over that span.
JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE
Zac MacMath - Saves two shots against Galaxy MacMath recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Impact MacMath was only beaten by Gabriel Pec's low finish from outside the box in the second half of this match. The saves lowered the keeper's average to 3.8 per game in 15 starts. He returned to the lineup, taking the spot back from Gavin Beavers, but it appears both players remain in a close competition and may continue to alternate in upcoming fixtures.
