Walker Zimmerman - Sent off Wednesday Zimmerman received a straight red card during Wednesday's clash with Charlotte.

Impact Zimmerman stopped a clear chance with a foul, earning the red card and a consequent suspension for the next match against Inter Miami. Losing the defender is a tough blow to a team that relies heavily on him at center-back. Zane Monlouis was on the bench midweek and could be the first candidate to fill in while Zimmerman serves his ban. The regular starter will be eligible again to face New York City FC on Aug. 29.

Nathan Byrne - On bench Wednesday Byrne (hamstring) has been called up as a substitute option in Wednesday's match against Toronto.

Impact Byrne is usually the team's favored right-back, but he may not be fit enough for a full workload yet, offering limited upside in the midweek clash. In any case, he should eventually oust Will Cleary from the initial lineup and regain his usual defensive and crossing tasks. He's currently averaging 2.3 clearances and 0.3 chances created per game in league play.

Nathan Byrne - Clears injury report ahead of Toronto Byrne (hamstring) is not listed on Charlotte FC's injury report and appears set to be available for Wednesday's match against Toronto, according to the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Byrne's clearance comes after he was substituted in the 56th minute of Charlotte's loss to Columbus Crew, with head coach Dean Smith previously suggesting the issue could be tied to fatigue rather than anything more serious. His absence from the injury report all but confirms he avoided a significant setback from that early withdrawal. Byrne is expected to be in contention for a role against Toronto, though the quick turnaround could still factor into whether he starts or comes off the bench. His full availability would allow Charlotte to field their preferred options at right back for the trip north.
