Tom Pearce - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench to face Austin Pearce (personal) is among the substitutes for Saturday's match against Austin.

Impact Pearce was sidelined in the last game due to personal reasons but returned in time to play a role in the weekend clash. He has served as a backup player in each of his last four MLS appearances, so that could remain the case in upcoming fixtures. He'll likely threaten Luca Petrasso in terms of playing time and perhaps Brandan Craig and Dante Sealy for set pieces.

Impact Pearce will spend the week in England due to personal and family reasons and is expected to miss Saturday's clash against D.C. United as well as training in the coming days. That said, Pearce has only been a bench option recently, coming off the bench in each of his last four appearances, so his absence will not impact the starting XI.

On bench to face New England Pearce (upper body) is on the bench for Friday's trip to New England Revolution.

Despite avoiding an absence due to the injury, the Englishman hasn't started since July 5. Still, he may have attacking upside and set-piece duties if he gets minutes on the field.
