Five shots Saturday Rossi had five shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus New York City FC.
Impact Rossi had another productive statistical match, but he failed to record a goal contribution in his fourth consecutive game. Following the departure of Cucho Hernandez during the offseason, Rossi was pegged as the focal point of Columbus' potent attack, but that has yet to materialize. Although he continues to be very active on the attack -- he took a season-high five shots Saturday -- the entire Columbus attack has struggled as of late, only scoring two goals over the last four matches. Rossi and the rest of his team will need to step it up in order to get Columbus back to the top of the Eastern Conference.

Bags brace in opener Rossi scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-2 win versus Chicago Fire.

He scored a header assisted by Steven Moreira just before halftime to take the 3-2 lead, then doubled that lead in the 50th minute with a strike assisted by Malte Amundsen. Following Columbus' sale of Cucho Hernandez, Rossi is set to be the Crew's go-to attacker, and he fit that role very well in the opening match of the season.

Four shots in playoff loss Rossi (back) recorded four shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 (7-6) penalty shootout defeat to New York Red Bulls.
Impact Rossi started Sunday's match despite dealing with a back injury. He played fine as he took four shots and created one chance, but he was unable to take Columbus' attack up a level. He converted his penalty in the shootout, but it was not enough to avoid elimination from the playoffs. Rossi had a very productive season in his first full campaign with Columbus as he scored 12 goals and recorded seven assists through 35 appearances (31 starts).

Expected to return Rossi (back) "should be available for the next game" according to manager Wilfried Nancy after missing the 1-0 loss to RBNY, reports Brianna Mac Kay of the Dispatched Alerts.
Impact This is positive news for Rossi, despite only training individual the past few days with a back injury. He will look to be ready for the Sunday trip to New Jersey, where Columbus enters the match with a 1-0 deficit. If ruled fit, he will likely return to the attacking midfield after previously starting nine times in the last 10 games, recording three goals with one assist.
