Adrian Marin - Dealing with muscular problem Marin is a game-time decision for Sunday's derby against Inter Miami due to a thigh injury, the league reported Saturday.

Impact Marin completed 90 minutes as a left-back in the opening weekend, after which he apparently picked up a blow. If the issue turns out to be serious, youngster Tahir Reid-Brown could be a nominal option to fill in. However, Marin will likely play as soon as he's fully fit and could be relied on for both playmaking and defensive numbers.

Eduard Atuesta - Questionable for Miami game Atuesta is a doubt for Sunday's duel versus Inter Miami because of a thigh injury, according to the MLS player status report.

Impact Atuesta has yet to make his 2026 season debut after being a constant presence in midfield last year. His continued absence would limit the squad's options, with Braian Ojeda and Colin Guske currently expected to get extended playing time.

Wilder Cartagena - Diagnosed with severe injury Cartagena has been diagnosed with a "high-grade" hamstring strain and will be out for the time being, according to Mike Gramajo of WESH 2 News.

Impact Cartagena suffered the injury in the first game of the season and won't be able to feature for the time being. That said, the midfielder might return to action before the end of the 2026 season, although this type of injury typically commands a recovery period between 12 and 16 weeks. Colin Guske could benefit from an uptick in playing time with both Cartagena and Joran Gerbet (knee) absent.

Luis Otavio - Logs full practice Friday Otavio participated in full training Friday and could be an option to face Inter Miami on Sunday.

Impact Otavio should provide some much-needed depth defensively for Orlando if he's healthy, and all signs are pointing in the right direction after his involvement in training this week. He missed the opener against the Red Bulls, but his chances of featuring in the Florida derby Sunday are quite high.

Antoine Griezmann To MLS? Orlando City In Talks To Sign Atletico Madrid, France Star

Griffin Dorsey - Ineffective in service Dorsey recorded one shot (one on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New York Red Bulls.

Impact The defender struggled to get involved offensively, with none of his five crosses being considered accurate. He'll have his hands full defensively against Inter Miami, which netted 81 goals a year ago. However, he could find space on counterattacks against a team which did concede 55 goals a year ago.

Tyrese Spicer - Poor in service Spicer registered two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus New York Red Bulls. In addition, he was given a yell...

Impact None of Spicer's crosses were deemed to be accurate, part of a larger team struggle to put a finishing touch on an attack across most of the match. The midfielder should have more room to operate against an Inter Miami side which scores a lot but does concede goals regularly due to its open play. Inter Miami gave up 55 goals a season ago.

Martin Ojeda - Offensive juggernaut Ojeda recorded three shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New York Red Bulls.

Impact Unfortunately for Orlando's top attacker, New York Red Bulls were able to largely bottle him up when it came to goals or assists. Ojeda still put up massive numbers and can be expected to deliver another strong performance against an Inter Miami team which did give up 55 goals in last year's regular season.

Zakaria Taifi - Tallies late assist off bench Taifi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against New York Red Bulls.

Impact The midfielder managed to get an assist on Orlando City SC's stoppage time goal, though that was not enough to get anything from the match. Zaifi is likely to remain among the subs against Inter Miami.

Maxime Crepeau - 11 saves but gives up two Crepeau recorded 11 saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against New York Red Bulls.

Impact Crepeau kept his team in the match but ultimately could not keep NYRB off the scoreboard in a 2-1 loss. The goalkeeper did well to limit the damage but has another tough matchup on his hands against Inter Miami, a team which tallied a whopping 81 goals in last year's regular season.

Wilder Cartagena - Leaves with injury Saturday Cartagena was forced off with a potential injury during Saturday's match against New York Red Bulls, Alonso El Inca of Area Sports Network reports.

Impact Cartagena asked to be subbed off after feeling an apparent muscular pain during the opening minutes in the first MLS week of 2026. He was expected to be active in a central midfield role in Joran Gerbet's (knee) absence, but now both players are at risk of missing upcoming matchups. Youngster Colin Guske could benefit from such situation to see increased action over the next few games.

Luis Otavio - Dealing with thigh injury Otavio is not an option for Saturday's season opener against New York Red Bulls due to a thigh injury, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Otavio will not be in the mix for Saturday's season opener against the New York Red Bulls as the midfielder works through a thigh injury. He will push to get back on the field for next week's matchup, but this is a tough break for Orlando given he is projected to lock down a starting role with his new club once he is fully healthy and up to speed.

Eduard Atuesta - Signs new contract Atuesta has signed a new contract with Orlando City SC until the end of the 2028-29 MLS season.

Impact Atuesta has emerged as a true leader in midfield for the Lions, and he'll be around for the long haul after signing this new deal. Atuesta should be a steady presence in midfield for Orlando City after starting in 26 of his 29 appearances for the club in the 2025 MLS season, delivering six assists and averaging nearly 2.0 chances created per game from his holding midfielder role.
