CincinnatiUnused substitute Wednesday
Powell made Wednesday's squad for the 4-3 win over Vancouver but did not play, confirming he has recovered from his leg injury.
Analysis: Powell had returned to training a couple weeks ago after being forced off, and his inclusion in the matchday squad now confirms he is healthy again. As more of a depth option in Cincinnati's defense, his availability adds useful cover, and he could see his first minutes back in the coming matches as the club continues to manage its back line.
Fully trains Tuesday
Powell (leg) is back in training, according to Laurel Pfahler of The Queen City Press.
Analysis: Powell is back in the mix this week after he was forced off two weeks ago, as the defender is back in training with his teammates. This will likely lead to his return in the next week or two, a good sign for this club. He is more of a depth option in the defense, but with injuries plaguing the team to begin the season, his addition will only help.
Forced off injured
Powell was forced off at halftime of Wednesday's clash against New York City due to an apparent injury.
Analysis: Powell was forced off at halftime of Wednesday s clash against New York City due to an apparent injury and will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. The center back has held a rotational role this season, but with the injury to Teenage Hadebe as well, the back line is now short on options, with Andrei Chirila the leading candidate to replace him in central defense if he is ruled out.
