Henry Kessler - Could return after break Kessler (hamstring) will miss a couple more games before being ready to play, according to manager Dean Smith. "He'll probably be fit for selection after the international break."

Impact Kessler has yet to make his 2026 MLS season debut with Charlotte, and this latest update suggests the defender will also miss the upcoming games against Austin, Inter Miami and NY Red Bulls before being able to play. Kessler should challenge Tim Ream and Andrew Privett for minutes at center-back once he's healthy to play.

Henry Kessler - Out another game, should train soon Kessler (hamstring) is unavailable for the weekend's visit to LA Galaxy, but coach dean Smith hopes to have him back in training soon, Carroll Walton of The Charlotte Ledger report...

Impact Kessler might be able to make his 2026 season debut in March after missing the initial couple of games due to the injury. His return could give the team a huge boost in the back line, considering he made more than five clearances in 10 of his 15 starts last season when he played for St. Louis. As soon as he's healthy, Kessler will challenge Tim Ream and Andrew Privett for minutes in center-back roles.

Pep Biel - Scores late equalizer Saturday Biel scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus St. Louis City SC.

Impact Biel took advantage of a clever through ball from Wilfried Zaha to even the score late in the second half. The Spaniard was Charlotte's best player in 2025 after racking up 21 goal contributions (10 goals, 11 assists), and he figures to have that role again in 2026. His partnership with Zaha in the final third will be clutch for Charlotte's chances of having a successful season.

Wilfried Zaha - Credited with assist in draw Zaha assisted once to go with zero corners and three chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.

Impact Zaha's vision is a plus at the MLS level, and he delivered an impressive through ball that allowed Pep Biel to score a late equalizer for Charlotte. He registered 15 goal contributions for Charlotte in 2025, with 10 goals and five assists, and he figures to be a key player once again. He was heavily involved in this season opener.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Privett - Busy defensively in draw Privett registered two tackles (one won) and nine clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against St. Louis City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 7th minute.

Impact Charlotte looked completely overmatched throughout the game, but Privett was a solid presence at the back and registered solid numbers, highlighted by a game-high nine clearances. Look for Privett to be a regular starter at center-back for Charlotte as long as he stays healthy.
