Connor Ronan - Creates four chances in loss Ronan recorded four scoring chances created, one cross (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Real Salt Lake.

Impact Ronan appeared in a holding midfield role but generated some playmaking output while taking a few corner kicks in 52 minutes of play Saturday. He has been rather active in the last couple of games, recording a variety of defensive numbers and helping his team through ball distribution. However, his place in the initial lineup is now seriously threatened by the return of Joshua Atencio, who recovered from a concussion and came off the bench in the last game.

Nicolas Hansen - Makes six saves at Real Salt Lake Hansen recorded six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake.

Impact Hansen did a great job despite the loss, as he posted a season-high count of saves during his fifth MLS game of the year. The keeper also raised his average to 3.6 shots stopped per contest. He has provided cover for the absence of Zack Steffen (shoulder) in the last three games, although it's still unclear how much longer that situation will continue while the regular starter works on his recovery.

Impact Atencio is back in the match squad following a two-game absence, offering an alternative to Connor Ronan and Hamzat Ojediran in the holding midfield zone. The former Seattle Sounders man is typically valuable for his ball recovery and distribution numbers, as he only occasionally pushes forward, having scored one goal in 10 games this season.
