JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Set for suspension return Jansson completed his yellow-card ban and is eligible to face LAFC on June 15 after the international break.
Impact The return of Jansson should hand a huge boost to Orlando's defensive line, as the veteran center-back is the undisputed leader of the backline.

Impact Orlando have yet to announce the full extent of the injury, and while it wouldn't be shocking if Jansson ends up being sidelined for at least a few games, it seems it won't be a case in which he'll have to be sidelined for months. In any case, Wednesday's trip to Inter Miami seems like too early for him to be back in the lineup. If that's the case, then Rodrigo Schlegel could step into the XI alongside David Brekalo at center-back.
