On bench Saturday

Nwobodo (leg) is among the substitutes for Saturday's meeting with Charlotte.

Analysis: Nwobodo hasn't played since April 11, so he's now expected to make a gradual return to action if he avoids any injury setbacks. He should be used as a central midfielder, in which case he'll be a potential source of passes and defensive stats but could commit some fouls as was the trend before his absence. He'll challenge Samuel Gidi and Gerardo Valenzuela for starting spots in the future.

Returns to training

Nwobodo (leg) is back in training, according to Laurel Pfahler of The Queen City Press.

Analysis: Nwobodo had to miss the past few weeks with a leg injury but is looking to be an option for their next match, as he has returned to full training. His addition back to the team will be a good source of depth with his thre starts in six appearances, although the midfielder is still looking for his first goal contribution of the season.
