Impact Mensah was stuck in health and safety protocols for Saturday's match at Inter Miami but has since returned and will target Tuesday's visit from the New York Red Bulls for his return. If he's able to play Tuesday, look for Mensah to start alongside Vito Wormgoor at the heart of the defense.

Makes nine clearances in draw Mensah made nine clearances and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Sunday's scoreless draw against Austin.

Impact Mensah was rock-solid at the heart of the defense, racking up a season-high nine clearances and being a huge reason why his side was able to withstand some stretches of heavy pressure during the first half and then keep the opposing attack at bay after halftime. With 15 clearances and two clean sheets over the last three matches, the centre back will try to keep it up during Saturday's home match against New England.
