Returns with Columbus Amundsen (knee) missed the last eight games for Columbus due to injury but made his return in Tuesday's defeat to Toluca in the Leagues Cup.

Impact Amundsen featured for a few minutes in the first Leagues Cup game against Toluca on Tuesday, which the Crew lost in a penalty shootout, marking his return from his knee injury. This is good news for Columbus since Amundsen has been out since late May and is usually an undisputed starter for the club. That said, he will likely be making a few more appearances off the bench to avoid any setbacks and allow him to gradually build his fitness back for the final stretch of the season.

Questionable against Orlando Amundsen (knee) has been involved in training in recent weeks and is questionable for Friday's clash against Orlando, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Amundsen could make his return from a knee injury against Orlando on Friday, although he remains questionable for the clash. The defender has been progressing in his rehabilitation after being spotted in training in recent weeks, following a seven-game league absence due to the injury. If he is unavailable Friday, Yevgen Cheberko, Steven Moreira and Sean Zawadzki will likely make up the Crew's back three again.

Out two to four weeks Amundsen is out two to four weeks due to a knee injury, according to Brianna Mackay of the Columbus Dispatch.

Impact Amundsen was an early exit from the club's last contest, and that will lead to the sidelines for the defender, as he is now expected to miss multiple weeks due to the injury. This is a tough loss for the club, as he has started in four of their past five games, so this will force a change. He will look to recover by the end of June, with Yevgen Cheberko, Steven Moreira and Sean Zawadszki as the defensive trio while he is out.

Impact Amundsen was sent off with a straight red card Saturday. The defender has been a regular starter and will miss the next match against New York City.

Ready for season opener Amundsen (groin) said he's "100 percent healthy and ready to go" ahead of the season opener against Chicago Fire on Saturday, Kellyanne Stitts of WSYX ABC 6 reports.

Not expected back soon Amundsen is dealing with a groin injury and "won't be back soon," manager Wilfried Nancy told media Thursday.

Impact This rules Amundsen out of Game 2 of the series against the Red Bulls on Sunday and probably out of Game 3 -- if it happens. Losing the defender is a huge blow for the Crew, meaning Sean Zawadzki should slot into central defense with Amundsen ruled out.
