Impact Junior left match match at halftime with a muscle problem that will keep him out of Saturday's match.

Impact Junior added an assist during Saturday's draw putting together another nice showing on the right side of the midfield. Junior has earned the top spot in the starting XI but still shows some issues defensively, which could see him rotated if the formation shifts.

Picks up injury Thursday Ebimbe picked up an injury in Thursday's Europa League matchup against Aberdeen and was subbed off in the early stages of the first half.

Impact It's unclear what happened with the midfielder, who bagged a brace against Bayern Munich this past weekend, but it was clearly a severe issue if he had to leave the game just eight minutes in. Paxten Aaronson entered as his replacement, and Ebimbe's status to face Leverkusen on Sunday should be questionable, at best, given the quick turnaround.

Two shots in loss Eric Junior had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Wolfsburg.

Impact Eric Junior sent in a pair of shots during Saturday's loss but failed to get on the scoresheet.
