Out with hamstring injury Doumbia (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Toronto, according to the MLS injury report.

Impact Doumbia is heading to the sidelines for the weekend after not practicing earlier in the week, with the defender suffering from a hamstring injury. He will now have two weeks to recover as the club heads into the break. He had just returned from an injury, so he will hope he can do the same after the break.

Absent from training Doumbia was not involved in training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Toronto, according to Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ.

Impact Doumbia returned to play last week after coming off the bench for 17 minutes, but appears to be dealing with some drawbacks now, as the defender was unable to train Wednesday. This is something to monitor heading into the weekend, as he is a starter when fit but hasn't been able to shake off the injury bug this campaign. That said, he will likely be a game-time decision unless he trains with the group Thursday or Friday.

Eyeing return Saturday Doumbia (hamstring) is eyeing a return when facing Atlanta on Saturday, according to Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ.

Impact Doumbia could be in for a return this week, as the defender is now looking to play Saturday. That said, he will likely still need to train this week and pass some testing to be an option. He started in eight of his 10 appearances before the injury and could eye a starting spot when he returns.

Works to side Doumbia (hamstring) was training t the side with a ball Thursday, accoridng to Carroll Walton of the Charlotte Ledger.

Impact Doumbia is seeing some improvements this week, but appears to still be a ways away from a return, as he was only able to train to the side. That said, he will likely remain out for the time being, needing to train with the group again before he is considered an option.

Off during first half Doumbia was forced off in the 38th minute of Saturday's 3-0 win over San Diego due to an apparent injury.

Impact Doumbia had to retreat to the sidelines early Saturday, not making it through the first half due to what looked to be an injury. This is tough for the defender, as he just returned to the starting XI after missing out last match. He was replaced by Tim Rea, who would likely be his replacement if he misses more time.

Impact Doumbia is on loan at Charlotte from Standard Liege, but he's yet to make an appearance for the MLS club. It's unclear when he'll be able to debut, but even when his paperwork is completed, he might be nothing more than a depth option on the defensive line.
