Fully fit, scores brace
Espinoza (lower body) is fully back fit and played one half and scored twice in Sunday's 4-1 Leagues Cup win over San Luis, according to the club.
Analysis: Espinoza had been dealing with a lower body injury that raised concern given his role as one of Nashville's primary creative forces, so this two goal performance in a half of action is a strong confirmation that he has fully recovered. His return is a significant boost for Nashville's attack heading into the rest of Leagues Cup play.
Could miss out Friday
Espinoza is listed as questionable for Friday's match against Atlanta due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Espinoza is dealing with a lower-body concern, and his questionable status is one of the more impactful on the entire Friday report, given his role as one of Nashville's primary creative forces. He's a player with real fantasy value when healthy and in the lineup, and losing him on top of Yazbek's absence would meaningfully affect Nashville's attacking output. If he were to miss out, Shak Mohammed or Ahmed Qasem would be possible replacements.
