Impact Morales made his return off the bench after missing the last three matches with a lower body injury. He assisted New York's first goal during Wednesday's loss. The midfielder has been nothing more than just a bench player, making just two starts in the last 11 appearances with just one assist thus far.

In contention for midweek match Morales (lower body) has returned to full training and "should be healthy" heading into Wednesday's clash against FC Cincinnati, according to NYCFC manager Nick Cushing on Monday.

Impact Morales has missed New York City's last three league games with a lower body injury, but he's expected to be available for selection to face Cincinnati on Wednesday. Even when fit, he's started just two of his nine MLS appearances this season in midfield.

Will miss RSL match Morales (lower body) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's clash against Real Salt Lake, according to NYCFC's injury report for the match.

Impact Morales will miss a third straight game in all competitions Wednesday with a lower body injury he suffered last week. Even when fit, he has fallen behind Keaton Parks, James Sands and Richard Ledezma in New York City's midfield depth chart.

Ruled out for weekend Morales (lower body) will not be available for Saturday's clash against the Red Bulls, according to New York City's injury report.

Impact Morales was a late scratch for the midweek loss to FC Cincinnati in the U.S. Open Cup due to an injury, and he will remain sidelined for the Hudson River derby on Saturday as well.

Scratched from lineup in cup match Morales was replaced by Justin Haak in the lineup during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to FC Cincinnati during the U.S Open Cup with an apparent injury.

Impact Morales is in doubt for the Hudson River derby Saturday, with further details of his injury unclear after being a late scratched Wednesday during the U.S Open Cup. He has not been much of an opportunity to start thus far with Keaton Parks and James Sands the solidified defensive midfielders for the club. The 32-year-old started just twice in the last nine matches while totaling five tackles, four interceptions and four clearances.

Quiet game in first start Morales made a block in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against the Dynamo.

Impact Morales received his first start of the season on Saturday, but he wasn't very effective with this opportunity and should return to the bench next weekend in favor of Keaton Parks and James Sands in defensive midfield.

Makes bench Saturday Morales is on the bench for Saturday's game against Inter Miami.

Impact Morales has yet to log a single minute this season, but the fact that he will be available off the bench is a positive sign given he missed last weekend's game with a lower body injury.

Out against Chicago Morales will not be involved in Saturday's clash against the Fire due to a lower body injury, according to New York City's injury report.

Impact Morales was an unused substitute in last weekend's season opener, but he has picked up an injury and will miss out entirely on Saturday. Keaton Parks and Justin Haak started last weekend in defensive midfield, and new signing James Sands will be another likely starter in the position once he's back up to speed with the team.

Limited role for end of season Morales tallied two assists and six clean sheets in 23 MLS appearances (21 starts) in NYCFC's defensive midfield until a groin injury in August limited him to just 25 minutes off t...

Impact Morales was a constant in New York City's midfield this campaign until injury struck in the summer and Maximiliano Moralez took over from there. The 32-year-old Morales will hope to win back the spot for 2023, but there is plenty of competition for the position with Nicolas Acevedo and Keaton Parks in the mix as well.

Impact Morales set up a rocket strike from Maxime Chanot in the first half of Wednesday's game, but he had to come out in the second with a potentially serious-looking injury that is likely to rule him out for Sunday's clash against the Fire at least.
