Impact Qasem was initially called up by Iraq for the international window but was absent from the national team's squad for its first friendly, with the reason for his omission remaining unclear. Regardless, the midfielder is now available for club duties after recording two goals and one assist across 22 MLS appearances (11 starts) this season. He has primarily served as a rotational option and was an unused substitute in his last two matches before the break, making a reserve role more likely than a return to the starting XI against Austin.
