Forced off Wednesday Maziz went down with an injury during Wednesday's game against Austin.

Impact Maziz succumbed to a potential muscle issue during his fourth MLS start, leaving his place on the field to Joshua Atencio. The playmaker had been contributing to his side's offensive generation, having quickly become one of the team's top two set-piece takers alongside Paxten Aaronson and providing two assists in five games since his arrival from Belgian club Oud-Heverlee Leuven. He'll be questionable for upcoming action until there's a more clear diagnosis of his injury.

Assist on MLS debut Maziz assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win against Sporting Kansas City.

Impact Maziz made his first MLS appearance in Saturday's 2-0 win over Sporting KC, coming off the bench and making an immediate impact by delivering the corner that Reggie Cannon headed home in the 65th minute for the opening goal, also registering three shots and one further corner across his 34 minutes in what was an encouraging individual debut for a player who arrived from FC Metz.
