Impact Almada has been one of the best players in MLS this season with four goals and a league-leading five assists through six appearances in attacking midfield, but he will be facing a fitness test in order to be available against Toronto on Saturday.

The midfielder is also averaging five crosses and 3.8 chances created, making him of the most lethal players in the MLS this season.
