Impact Surridge has been one of Nashville's most important attacking options this season, making his unexpected absence a real blow heading into a crucial stretch of fixtures. The hamstring issue emerged without warning ahead of the Club America trip, and the day-to-day designation suggests the club is hopeful of a quick turnaround but is not yet ready to commit to a return date. Woobens Pacius is expected to take on a larger role in the front line if Surridge cannot recover in time for Saturday's clash against Atlanta.

Impact Baker-Whiting had been dealing with an ankle problem around a month ago, raising the possibility that this latest issue could be a setback from that injury. The midfielder has mainly operated as a bench option for Nashville this season, so his potential absence would have a limited impact on the starting lineup, but the club will want to get a clearer picture on his fitness before making a final call ahead of the weekend. Daniel Lovitz remains the preferred starter at left-back moving forward.
