Quiet against NYCFC Zardes played the entirety of Saturday's 2-1 win over NYCFC.

Impact Zardes found attacking output hard to come by on Saturday as both Columbus goals were scored by Lucas Zelarayan. The forward failed to shoot, cross or create a chance despite playing the full match.

Takes two shots in loss Zardes took two shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Toronto FC.

Impact Zardes has yet to score this season but wasn't exactly the problem as shoddy defending resulted in two goals for the hosts. With Lucas Zelarayan still providing a high volume of chances, it shouldn't be much longer before Zardes gets on the scoresheet for the first time this season. Up next is a trip to New England, which have conceded six goals in five matches.

Has lingering shoulder issue Zardes told reporters that he'll be playing through a shoulder injury for the next six-eight weeks, according to Patrick Murphy of 247 Sports.

Impact Zardes may not be active every week, but he should be available most of the time as the Crew continue their quest to defend the MLS Cup. He's failed to put a shot on target through two league appearances this season.

Questionable for TFC game Zardes (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto FC, according to Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Zardes logged 33 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over D.C. United, but his availability for Wednesday's match is still in question. With this news, it could be wise to expect that Zardes won't be able to start this game, and that Bradley Wright-Philips would make his third straight appearance from kickoff.

Plays 45 minutes Wednesday Zardes (shoulder) started and went 45 minutes in Wednesday's CCL loss against Monterrey.

Impact Zardes returned from a dislocated shoulder, but after Monterrey scored two first-half goals, he wasn't risked in the second half. It's possibly an injury he'll deal with for the next week or two, but it looks like he's mobile enough to start even if he may not be ready for to go full 90s.

Dealing with dislocated shoulder Zardes suffered a dislocated shoulder in the first leg and is questionable for Tuesday's second leg against Monterrey, according to head coach Caleb Porter.

Impact Zardes missed the league match over the weekend, getting replaced by Bradley Wright-Phillips who didn't manage a shot in a scoreless draw. Zardes originally played through the injury against Monterrey and it's possible he'll do the same Tuesday in the second leg.

Is held in check during draw Zardes took one shot (none on target) in the 0-0 draw with Philadelphia on Sunday.

Impact Zardes was extremely inefficient in the draw Sunday. The forward had a single chance between himself and the club through 84 minutes of play. However, this is more of an outlier than anything. Over his two seasons in the MLS, Zardes has been known for his shoot-first mentality. Through last season he averaged, 2.42 shots, 1.23 created chances and 0.5 tackles per 90 minutes. The major issue with Zardes is his accuracy and his conversion rate though. In the same season he had 47 percent accuracy and a mediocre 24 percent conversion rate. Nevertheless, he continues to spearhead the attack for Columbus and he will be exciting to watch throughout the season.
