The club will assess the extent of the injury over the coming days before providing any further clarity on his timeline.

Antony Alves Santos - Finally scores again Antony scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus San Jose Earthquakes.

Impact For the first time since the 2026 season's opening matchday, Antony has logged a goal. Ideally for him, his post-World Cup form features much more goal-scoring, considering he barely scored multiple times across 11 starts between February and May.

James Pantemis - Concedes three goals Pantemis recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to San Jose Earthquakes.

Nick Fernandez - Assist during start Fernandez assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Portland Timbers.

Impact Fernandez assisted the Earthquakes' second goal during what would be his third start this 2026 season. In each of his three starts, he either scored or assisted, logging one goal and two assists. Upon the World Cup respite's aftermath, whether or not Fernandez continues starting will be questioned. Niko Tsakiris is usually San Jose's primary option at the center of their three-attacking midfielder trio.
