There was no need to rush his recovery, as fellow forward Valentin Castellanos won the Golden Boot and powered his side to the MLS Cup in Heber's absence, and the 30-year-old will want to return fully fit in 2022 after signing a two-year contract extension, with the option to add an additional year.

Impact Heber is almost back from a torn ACL suffered in September of 2020. At his best, he scored 15 goals in 23 games back in 2019. Given some of the other acquisitions in his absence, Heber returns to an even deeper lineup that could be more difficult to stay in but more valuable when a part of it.

Still recovering from injury Heber continues to work on his return from a torn ACL and doesn't have a date to return.

Impact Heber tore his ACL last September, so he should be on the edge of a return if going off the usual timeline. Given the lack of updates around the team, he's probably another month or so away from being back until the manager says something positive about his status.
