VITO WORMGOOR NEWS

Takes two shots in win Wormgoor took two shots and won one of one tackles in last weekend's 2-0 victory against Chicago. He also made three clearances, a block and an interception in the match.

Impact Wormgoor kept two clean sheets in 17 MLS appearances (16 starts) this season in returning from an ankle injury that forced him to miss virtually all of 2020. He was just about the preferred option to partner Jonathan Mensah at center back for Columbus, but 21-year-old Aboubacar Keita will be vying for that spot in the XI in 2022.

Remains out Wormgoor (thigh) is listed as out for Wednesday's match against Nashville SC, according to Ben Wright of Broadway Sports.

Impact Wormgoor originally missed Saturday's match against NYCFC with the same injury, so he's likely going to miss at least one more game as long as the injury is minor. While Josh Williams (ankle) is close to returning, Aboubacar Keita can be expected to start until others are able to prove their fitness.

Will not face NYC FC Wormgoor has been ruled out for Saturday's match against NYC FC because of a thigh injury, according to Patrick Murphy of Massive Report.

Impact Wormgoor lasted only 57 minutes in last weekend's match against Cincinnati, with Aboubacar Keita coming on for him. The good news for the Crew is that Josh Williams (ankle) was upgraded to questionable, which could be enough to get him in the starting XI this weekend.
