CF MontréalStarting in Miami clash
Synchuk (lower body) has been included in Montreal's starting lineup to face Inter Miami on Saturday.
Analysis: Synchuk is back in contention and may see meaningful playing time if he avoids any physical setback, having been sidelined only once due to the injury. He has been chosen over Daniel Rios to join Prince-Osei Owusu and Noah Streit in the front line, which could remain the case in future fixtures. While he has produced just one goal and an assist across 15 MLS appearances in 2026, Synchuk remains a consistent contributor of shots and tackles, as well as a creative force with occasional corner kick numbers.
Questionable with lower body concern
Synchuk (lower body) was listed as questionable for Saturday's match against Los Angeles FC, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Synchuk has been heavily involved in offensive play lately, making six straight league starts and recording an assist in the most recent of those outings. His uncertain status suggests his issue is either a minor blow or still under assessment, making him a risky fantasy option in the short term. If he can't play, his spot could be filled by Olger Escobar.
Assists opener Wednesday
Synchuk assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Synchuk helped open up the scoring Wednesday as his through ball found Prince-Osei Owusu open in the box and he slotted home the strike in the 5th minute. It marked Synchuk's first assist of the season to go along with his one goal. The assist came on his lone chance created and he also put one shot on target in the win. He was subbed off in the 56th minute for Victor Loturi.
Three shots in defeat
Synchuk generated three shots (two on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat versus Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Synchuk was Montreal's most persistent wide threat in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Inter Miami, registering three shots including two on target while also delivering nine crosses of which just two found a teammate, taking three corners across his full 90-minute shift. He made one interception defensively and consistently drove at Inter Miami's back line from the right flank, though the lack of accuracy in his final delivery remained the defining limitation of an otherwise industrious performance. Synchuk has been one of Montreal's more reliable creative outlets this season but the team's inability to convert his deliveries into chances has been a recurring issue during their difficult recent run.
Scores 96th minute equaliser in 4-4
Synchuk scored one goal to go with five shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-4 draw against D.C. United.
Analysis: Synchuk came on with 23 minutes to go in the game at 3-2 and scored the 86th-minute goal, which put the scoreline to 4-4. He was assisted by Prince-Osei Owusu, who scored the other three Montreal goals. This was the youngsters' first goal of the season, having taken part in eight games so far this season. He took five shots, his most of any game this season.
Features off bench
Synchuk (undisclosed) came off the bench for five minutes in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Chicago, contributing one shot, four crosses and three corners in his return to competitive action, the club posted.
Analysis: Synchuk had been sidelined for two consecutive matches with an undisclosed issue, making his return to the matchday squad a welcome development for CF Montreal. The attacking midfielder should push to regain his starting role on the right wing heading into the last week of MLS before the World Cup break.
Trains with therapist
Synchuck (undisclosed) was training with the assistance with the team training on Wednesday, per Maxime Truman of DL Coulisses.
Analysis: Synchuk remains doubtful for Saturday as he required assistance during training. His injury has yet to be disclosed, missing the last two matches because of it. The midfielder will look to train fully this week as the team remains optimistic on his return in May.
