He made an impact on the match, recording season highs in shots (three) and shots on target (two), playing the full 90 minutes for the first time this season.

Impact Magno, who missed the five matches prior to the World Cup break due to a leg injury, made his return to the pitch in Wednesday's match at Columbus. He subbed onto the pitch in the 55th minute for Malachi Jones and just 15 minutes later assisted Agustin Ojeda's strike which took the 2-0 lead. It marked his first assist of the season and it came on the lone chance he created in the match. Now that he's back fully healthy, he should return to his role as a top option off the bench.

Hannes Wolf - On bench to face Crew Wolf (chest) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash against Columbus Crew.

Impact Wolf experienced some breathing issues after the last league contest versus Nashville, and his return to action may be handled carefully. Once he's fully healthy, the midfielder will aim to recover the left-wing spot from Malachi Jones. Whenever that happens, Wolf could be one of the team's best attacking threats, having scored five goals and two assists over 14 appearances this year, highlighting a hat trick on May 10.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Malachi Jones - Starting midweek Jones (shoulder) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's match against Columbus Crew.

Impact Jones is ready to play after dealing with an injury since late May, and he's making his third MLS start of the season. The forward has featured on the left wing but is still looking for his first goal or assist in 2026, racking up nine shots and one chance created over 217 minutes of play. He might not be a regular participant though, given that Hannes Wolf is also back from a chest issue and should be the first option at some point.
