Radu Dragusin - Makes five-minute appearance Sunday Dragusin (knee) took one shot and made one clearance as a substitute in Sunday's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Dragusin became available sooner than expected but saw little action in his return from a long-term absence. He may continue to feature off the bench going forward, strengthening the team's depth behind Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Kevin Danso.

Jefferson Lerma - Three crosses in Sunday's loss Lerma generated three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Impact Lerma made his way back into the starting XI Sunday although he did so as a center back in Palace's back three. He was surprisingly invovled in the attack despite his position, finishing the match with three crosses (all inaccurate) and two chances created. He was solid on the defensive end too, winning four duels, making two clearances and intercepting two passes in his full 90 minutes of action. With Chris Richards (ankle) questionable for Thursday's match at Fulham, Lerma could be in line to make another start on the back line.

Tyrick Mitchell - Five crosses Sunday Mitchell registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Mitchell recorded five crosses in Sunday's loss, just the fourth time this season he's hit that mark. Coming off two straight very productive seasons, this campaign has been a little slower for Mitchell as he has just one goal contribution -- a goal at West Ham on Sept. 20 -- as the halfway mark of the season nears. He's made up for some of that on the defensive end though as he already has kept seven clean sheets this season, already matching last season's total. He has not been as involved on the attack this season, but that could change in the new year.

Adam Wharton - Productive in Sunday's loss Wharton recorded three shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Wharton put together a good performance Sunday, but it wasn't enough to help his side score a goal or earn a point. He recorded a season-high seven crosses, tied a season high with three shots and created multiple chances for the seventh time this season. On the defensive end he won five duels and recorded one tackle, one interception and one clearance in his full 90 minutes. Although he has just two goal contributions on the season, he consistently fills up the stat sheet on both ends of the pitch.

Dean Henderson - Concedes once in loss Henderson recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Henderson conceded one goal in Sunday's loss, a header by Archie Gray in the 42nd minute which was the only goal of the match. Henderson has now conceded at least one goal in four consecutive matches and has conceded nine goals over that stretch. He faces a matchup of similar difficulty Thursday versus Fulham, a side which has scored 25 goals through 27 matches this season.

Kevin Danso - Keeps clean sheet versus Palace Danso generated two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 5th minute.

Impact Danso made his first start since Dec. 2 Sunday with Cristian Romero (suspension) out. He played very well in his captain's absence as he helped keep a clean sheet for the second time this season. He recorded a whopping 16 clearances, won 11 duels and blocked one shot in his full 90 minutes of action. He will likely return to the bench Thursday at Brentford with Romero's ban now over.
