Impact Coufal picked up a knock while playing for the Czech Republic during the international break, but it wasn't anything serious, so his presence in the starting lineup isn't surprising.

Impact Coufal probably has another week to go in recovery, at minimum, so his best chance for a return will be the final league match of the season.

Thilo Kehrer has started at right-back the last couple matches in Coufal's place.

Coufal has been the normal starter when fit and available and would figure to take the starting role back as soon as possible.

Coufal's first chance to return is a Sunday clash with Manchester United.
