Tim Ream - Sent off in defeat Ream has earned a one-game suspension after receiving a red card in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chicago Fire.

Impact Ream put a frustrating end to his quiet performance as he saw two late yellow cards for a foul and subsequent argument in stoppage time against Chicago. The central defender must now serve his ban in the upcoming match against Dallas after the break and may be back in contention to face Columbus Crew. It will be the first time Charlotte lose him since Aug. 1, and his exclusion could allow Morrison Agyemang to rejoin Henry Kessler in the middle of the back line.

Archie Goodwin - Forced off against Chicago Goodwin was helped off the pitch after suffering an apparently serious issue during Saturday's clash against Chicago Fire.

Impact Goodwin's situation is now a significant concern given that he was unable to put weight on his right foot following an apparent non-contact injury early in the second half of the weekend game. The young striker was filling in for the absent Idan Toklomati (international duty), who will likely bounce back to a starting spot if the severity of Goodwin's problem is confirmed.

Brandt Bronico - Fit for bench role Saturday Bronico (lower body) is on the bench for Saturday's game versus Chicago Fire.

Impact Bronico has avoided an absence after being questionable during the week, but he's likely available for only a few minutes in the second half, with Luca de la Torre starting instead. The experienced midfielder will serve as a versatile central option capable of creating offensive play while contributing to ball recovery. However, his lone direct involvement in the league campaign so far is a goal he scored on Aug. 15.

Mbekezeli Mbokazi - Starts against Charlotte Mbokazi (thigh) is in the starting lineup in Saturday's trip to Charlotte.

Impact Mbokazi could give Chicago an immediate defensive boost following his return to group training earlier this week. The center-back has not played since the World Cup, and it's still unclear if he's ready for a full-match performance. He should be reliable as a source of accurate passes, clearances and tackles while he shares defensive responsibilities with Jack Elliott.
