Option again Pirani has served his one match suspension and will be an option for the trip tp the Galaxy on Saturday.
Picks one match suspension Pirani will serve a one-match ban due to violent conduct, according to the league.
Impact Pirani committed violent conduct by punching an opponent in the chest in their last contest and received a yellow card for the action. That said, the league decided to upgrade his sanction and suspended him for one game. Pirani has started three of the last four games, so his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Jared Stroud expected to replace him on the right wing.

Deemed questionable Pirani (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with Colorado, per the MLS injury report.
Impact Pirani was added to the injury report Friday with a knee issue and is now in doubt. The attacking midfielder came off the bench last time out, but prior to picking up the issue had been a consistent starter. With D.C. switching to a formation focusing on wingers there's been less room for Pirani in the XI of late.

Impact Pirani came off the bench during Saturday's win and got involved, finding the back of the net. The attacking midfielder hasn't really lived up to expectations in D.C. but he's still be decently creative when given chances on the pitch. It's unlikely he will establish a starting role in the coming weeks, barring injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. That makes Pirani hard to trust moving forward, though he could have value on any given day he starts.

Still on bench Pirani registered one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Atlanta United.
Impact Pirani played just nine minutes during Wednesday's loss to Atlanta. The attacking midfielder had his loan to D.C. made permanent during the offseason but he's fallen largely out of favor, only coming off the bench in recent weeks.

Impact Pirani produced three crosses and sent in a pair of shots, but didn't get much done with those chances despite the weak NYC FC defense. The midfielder was brought in to revitalize the D.C. attack, but on the whole Pirani hasn't really done that, especially not since the move was made permanent ahead of the 2024 season.

After scoring once over 10 appearances (eight starts) in 2023, Piriani will have to continue to put forth positive performances to earn his minutes in 2024.
