Mamadou Fall - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Bench option against LAFC Mbacke (back) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash versus Los Angeles FC.

Impact Mbacke has completed his recovery but is likely to see reduced playing time given that he has barely appeared this season. The defender may be used as a center-back, in which case he'll challenge all of Timo Baumgartl, Jaziel Orozco and Dante Polvara for minutes.

Doesn't train due to back spasms Mbacke is questionable for Saturday's match against Colorado after not training Thursday due to back spasms, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Dispatch.

Impact Mbacke is going to need some testing as the club heads into Saturday's match, as the defender has been dealing with a back injury that forced him out of training. This is rough news, as a back injury for soccer players can mean a longer recovery, as it is tough to keep strength and the core and run for 90 minutes due to the pain, especially for a defender who will be making aerial duels. On the bright side, he has only appeared off the bench in two appearances this season, so his absence would be a minor issue.

Not on injury list Mbacke is not on the injury list for Saturday's match against Charlotte.

Impact Mbacke looks to be making his debut with St. Louis on Saturday, as the defender is not on the injury list after he was absent from training a few weeks ago. He is expected to be a starter to begin the season, so this is a major addition for the club.

Not with team Mbacke is not with his team for the opening training ahead of Saturday's season opener, according to Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Dispatch.

Impact Mbacke just signed with St. Louis a few weeks ago and is now questionable for the season opener, as he did not report to the opening training. Little is known about the situation, as he may be facing a visa issue and is still finalizing his move to the club. However, that remains unknown, as well as his status for Saturday, a bit concerning when he was viewed to be a starter to begin the season.

He has plenty of experience with this LAFC team as he kept five clean sheets in 34 league appearances (29 starts) from 2021-22, and he provides a real goal threat from central defense as well as he'll compete for starts with Jesus Murillo (lower body), Aaron Long (not injury related), Denil Maldonado and Giorgio Chiellini.
