Starting against Austin Zimmerman (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Austin.

Impact As expected, Zimmerman's issue was not severe enough to keep him out of the starting lineup. He will start on his regular role at center-back alongside Dave Romney.

Questionable for Sunday Zimmerman is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Austin due to an ankle problem, according to Ben Wright of Broadway Sports.

Impact The star center-back has been a regular presence for Nashville at the back, but it seems as if he'll be a game-time decision for this contest. There's no question Nashville would lose a lot without him leading the defensive line, and names such as Jack Maher or Taylor Washington could be the replacements at center-back alongside Dave Romney if Zimmerman can't play Sunday.
