Impact Pierre was back on the pitch for the first time in almost a year this month, getting time in a pre-season friendly as he tests his legs after a hamstring issue caused him to miss all but one match last season, recording only five minutes in his one appearance. The defender was nearly ready to go by the time the team was eliminated by the playoffs, so it should come as no surprise that he is playing now. He should be an option on Feb. 24 to face Houston and will hope to put his injury concerns behind him and finish a season with the club fully healthy.

Back in full training Pierre (hamstring) returned to full team training with Sporting KC on Thursday, The Kansas City Star's Daniel Sperry reports.

MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mostly backup option this season Pierre kept two clean sheets and assisted a goal in 19 appearances (nine starts) during his debut season in MLS.

Impact Pierre mostly saw the pitch whenever Graham Zusi (now 36 years old) wasn't fit enough to play in 2022, but the 19-year-old Pierre is the future of the right-back position in Kansas City and he is likely to see an increase in playing time moving forward.

First MLS assist Pierre assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 tie versus Minnesota United.

Impact Pierre opened his assists account in his third start in a row for Kansas City as he continues to replace the injured Graham Zusi (quadriceps).

Pierre's next chance to start is a Sunday trip to Salt Lake.

Starts once more Pierre had three tackles (three won), one clearance, and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 win against CF Montreal.

Impact Pierre remained in the starting XI and made three tackles in another solid showing Saturday. The right-back is likely to be replaced by Graham Zusi (quadriceps) when healthy, but is enjoying a surprisingly stout run out in the starting XI. Pierre offers little offensive upside but has now made an appearance in six matches in a row while starting the most recent two, pointing towards an uptick in playing time moving forward even with Zusi healthy.

Five tackles won Pierre recorded seven tackles and won five of them in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Vancouver.

Impact Pierre had a superb performance for the Kansas City squad winning five tackles against the Vancouver offense. The defender hasn't been a top defender for the Kansas City squad for the 2022 season with only three appearances and zero starts so far. However, with such a strong recent defensive showing, Pierre's likelihood of getting into the starting XI is becoming more of a reality.
