Impact Fagundez made the score sheet with a well-placed shot after four minutes of play in the weekend match. He also had 57 accurate passes and succeeded in two of his four dribble attempts during the loss. He's one of his team's most in-form players, having achieved one goal or assist in each of his last four league games and converted a penalty kick in the recent Campeones Cup clash. Moreover, he has taken plenty of set pieces in the absence of Marco Reus (thigh).

Impact Fagundez has bounced back from a couple of minor fractures in his right foot and is ready to play as a substitute Wednesday.

Dealing with two small fractures Fagundez is dealing with two small fractures on his right foot, according to the Corner Of The Galaxy podcast.

Impact Fagundez suffered two small fractures in his right foot during the game against San Jose, and neither the medical staff nor the player initially considered the possibility of a fracture until he reported discomfort while striking balls. The team used the two-week break to help him recover, and his timeline for return is not expected to be very long. That said, with Marco Reus now fully fit, Fagundez could see reduced playing time in the frontline.

Ruled out Fagundez (foot) isn't an option for Saturday's trip to St. Louis, per the MLS injury report.

Tallies five crosses in 30 minutes Fagundez had five crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact Fagundez was used as a substitute for the first time this season after starting each of the previous 15 matches, but he led his team with five crosses in the midweek loss. Despite that production, none of his deliveries were accurate and he failed to get involved in a goal. He subbed on for an injured Marco Reus (undisclosed) in the 59th minute, taking his place on the pitch and covering his set-piece duties, which could be the case from kickoff if the German doesn't play in upcoming games.
