Impact Cornet will be available after missing four games due to his latest muscular injury, but might have to wait to be deployed, as his conditioning is subpar. He last played in early February. He has sent in one or more crosses in his last five displays (one start), amassing seven deliveries (one accurate) and adding two off-target shots, three chances created and five tackles (three won) over that span.

He has notched five crosses (one accurate), 10 tackles (seven won) and four off-target shots in his last five displays (all starts).

Junior Messias - Assist from bench Messias assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Sassuolo.

Impact Messias appeared for a mere 15 minutes Sunday but made a huge difference in the match, as the attacker would find Caleb Ekuban in the 84th minute for a goal to win the game.

He is now up to four goals on the season, also adding one assist. He still has yet to register 1,000 minutes of play this season, as he has only started in six of his 27 appearances, appearing to be a decent shout when given a bit of time on the field.

Impact Mailinovskyi has an eventful start to Sunday's match, earning a yellow card in the fifth minute before netting the opening goal in the 18th minute.

Impact Norton-Cuffy might skip further fixtures in addition to the upcoming Sassuolo one, considering the boss' remarks. Aaron Martin got the nod over Stefano Sabelli in relief in the last game, but he didn't have a great showing and missed a PK, so he's not a lock to start again.
