Impact Heber started his first game since early March on Saturday while Raul Ruidiaz (hamstring) was out and Jordan Morris on a minutes restriction after some mid-week national team action.

Impact Heber returns to the bench after finally making a full return to team training. The forward missed three matches in a row and has been supplanted by Leo Chu in the starting XI, though it's possible Heber returns to the pitch off the bench Saturday.

Impact Heber has missed Seattle's last three matches with a hamstring injury he suffered in training in early March, but he returned to individual training last week and has now rejoined his teammates in full.

Fitness test for Saturday Heber (hamstring) is listed as questionable in Seattle's injury report for Saturday's clash against Sporting KC.

Impact Heber returned to individual training with the Sounders this week and could be a game time decision to be involved against Kansas City this weekend.

Impact Heber has already notched two goals from 10 shots (seven on target) across Seattle's first two games of the season, and he's not even the first-choice striker.

Impact Heber was a big part of the New York City F.C organization as he was their top scorer during the 2019 season with 15 goals. However, after tearing his ACL in 2020, the Brazilian lost his starting role to Valentin Castellanos. He still helped the team win their first MLS Cup back in 2021 and has improved his form late last season with 10 goals in 32 appearances in 2020.

Starter for playoffs Heber started all three of NYCFC's playoff matches in 2022, taking 11 shots (five on target) and scoring two goals.

Impact Heber was an impact substitute for much of the season behind first Valentin Castellanos and then Magno in the center forward depth chart, but he performed well when given the opportunity to start in the playoffs when the latter suffered a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old scored 10 goals in 32 appearances (12 starts) overall, his best campaign since 2019 even if he will likely return to being a bench option next season.

On bench Sunday Heber made the bench for Sunday's match against Orlando City.

Impact Heber returns after missing one match with a lower body issue but he's still just an option off the bench. With one more regular season game in Sunday's trip to Atlanta United, Heber will hope to get fit and capable of starting before the postseason.

Scores goal against Miami Heber subbed into Saturday's match against Inter Miami in the 61st minute and he scored a goal in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Heber is averaging a goal every 80 minutes of playing time this season, and he has now scored four times in his last five MLS appearances since June 29. The 30-year-old will want to maintain that form as Valentin Castellanos is set to leave NYCFC, but Heber is more likely to remain an impact substitute even in his absence rather than become the starting striker on his own.
