Sam Surridge - Bags another brace in win Surridge took three shots (two on target), sent in two crosses, and scored twice in Saturday's 3-1 win over Minnesota United.

Impact Surridge has picked up where he left off after scoring 25 goals in 2025, bagging a brace in each of Nashville's home games to start the season. "Super Sam" is now tied with Joao Klauss at the top of the MLS goal scoring chart. He'll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup tilt at home with Inter Miami before going on the road on Saturday to test a Columbus Crew backline that kept a shutout in their last home match against the Chicago Fire.

Cristian Espinoza - Opens Nashville account in win Espinoza took three shots (two on goal), sent in seven crosses, took four corner kicks, created four chances, and scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Minnesota United.

Impact Espinoza opened his 2026 scoring account, bagging his first goal in a Nashville SC jersey. He has wasted no time getting incorporated into the Nashville attack, taking over the majority of set piece duty from Hany Mukhtar. Up next is a CONCACAF Champions Cup date at home with Inter Miami on Wednesday before travelling to Ohio of a road clash with the Columbus Crew on Saturday.

Hany Mukhtar - Registers first assist of 2026 Mukhtar took five shots (two on goal), created four chances, sent in one cross, and earned a secondary assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over Minnesota United.

Impact Mukhtar led Nashville in shots and picked up his first assist of the new season in the convincing win. His crossing totals are on the decline, with Cristian Espinoza taking over the majority of corner kicks, but Mukhtar continues to be a key ingredient in the Nashville SC attack. He'll look to help Nashville pick up a result in CONCACAF Champions Cup play against Inter Miami at home on Wednesday before a road tilt with the Columbus Crew on Saturday.

Patrick Yazbek - Assists twice in win Yazbek took two shots (off target), sent in two crosses, created three chances, and assisted twice in Saturday's 3-1 win over Minnesota United.

Impact Yazbek contributed his first and second attacking contributions of 2026, setting up Sam Surridge on both of his goals on the night. The Australian international is primarily a defensive presence in the midfield, but given the multitude of weapons in Nashville's attack, he is fully capable of turning up on the scoresheet on occasion. Up next, Nashville hosts Inter Miami in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday before a road fixture with the Columbus Crew on Saturday.

Brian Schwake - Two saves in 3-1 win Schwake made two saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over Minnesota United.

Impact There was nothing Schwake could do to keep Minnesota's lone tally out of the net, conceding for just the second time through the first three matches. Nashville's new No. 1 could feature in Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup match at home against Inter Miami before going on the road to face a Columbus Crew side that were shutout at home in their last outing.

Matthew Corcoran - Serves suspension Corcoran has served his one match suspension and will be an option for Saturday's trip to Columbus.

Impact Corcoran is set to make his return after receiving a red card vs Dallas. He's started and made an appearance off the bench, collecting two tackles and two clearances in 102 minutes of play.

Sam Surridge - Starts versus Minnesota Surridge (illness) has been included in the starting XI for the weekend's meeting with Minnesota United.

Impact Surridge missed only one game while being sick, so it's not surprising that he's back leading Nashville's front line after scoring a brace in the season opener. He's one of the most consistent attacking contributors in the league and should hold shooting potential in most fixtures. His inclusion is likely to move Hany Mukhtar back to the wing and Warren Madrigal to the bench.

Hany Mukhtar - Kept in check by FC Dallas Mukhtar took two shots off target and created three chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw at FC Dallas.

Impact Mukhtar was kept in check by the FC Dallas defense, failing to register a shot on goal or tally a single cross. The key to Nashville's attack will look to get back on track in Saturday's home clash with Minnesota United.

Cristian Espinoza - Active in 0-0 draw Espinoza took two shots off target, sent in eight crosses, took three corner kicks, and created three chances in Saturday's 0-0 draw at FC Dallas.

Impact Espinoza was active on the attacking end but could not help Nashville break through on the scoresheet. He has yet to record an attacking contribution with his new club and will look to make an impact in Saturday's home tilt with Minnesota United.

Brian Schwake - Posts first MLS clean sheet in draw Schwake made two saves in Saturday's 0-0 draw at FC Dallas.

Impact Schwake did his part to help Nashville remain unbeaten through the first two games of 2026. The new starting goalkeeper kept the first clean sheet of his MLS career, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Saturday's home clash with a Minnesota United side that could feature the MLS debut of James Rodriguez.

Matthew Corcoran - Sent off in draw Corcoran earned a red card in the 84th minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw with FC Dallas.

Impact Corcoran had an unimpressive performance which was made worse by his constant fouls, leading to his dismissal in his first start of the season. He'll now be unavailable to face Minnesota United next Saturday while he serves suspension. After that, he may return to the squad for the fourth week against Columbus Crew. While Bryan Acosta is the natural alternative in central midfield, both Alex Muyl and Ahmed Qasem came off the bench against Dallas and could be in line for increased playing time in the youngster's absence.

Xavier Valdez - Dealing with illness Valdez is questionable for the second week of the 2026 season due to illness, according to the MLS player status report.

Impact Valdez is at risk of missing the next game, but such event wouldn't alter the team's lineup considering he's the third option behind Brian Schwake and Joe Willis. In any case, Valdez's presence in upcoming contests will be in doubt until he recovers from the ailment.

Sam Surridge - Doubtful due to illness Surridge will be a late decision for Saturday's game versus FC Dallas, the league reported Friday.

Impact Surridge could be sidelined for a short period if he's not healthy enough to make the match squad, which would be a huge blow to the team given that he's their top-choice striker option. The forward scored two goals in the season opener before being replaced by Woobens Pacius, who could gain playing time if required in his place.
