New York RBSuspension cleared
Donkor's one match suspension for yellow card accumulation has now been served.
Analysis: Donkor had missed the match against LAFC with Emil Forsberg playing in a deeper role in his place, an absence that snapped his run of 22 consecutive starts this season. His return to availability now positions him to reclaim his regular spot in New York Red Bulls' heart of the game as the season continues.
Set for suspension
Donkor registered one cross (zero accurate) and four clearances in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Seattle Sounders FC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 48th minute and is set for a one match suspension.
Analysis: Donkor will miss his first match since Mar 8 as he serves a one‑match suspension for yellow‑card accumulation. He's been ever‑present for RBNY, starting all 22 matches and contributing one goal, four shots on target, 31 tackles, and a career‑high appearance tally. David Luiz is expected to step into his spot in the XI on Wednesday against LAFC.
Leader in chances created, tackles
Donkor took an off target shot, created four chances and made four tackles (winning two) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Charlotte.
Analysis: Donkor was active on both sides of the ball as he led the Red Bulls in chances created and tackles during the defeat. The midfielder has made 14 consecutive starts in the center of the pitch for New York, but hasn't had a goal involvement since May.
Assists in Saturday's win
Donkor assisted once to go with one corner and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Donkor assisted Cade Cowell's goal in the 49th minute Saturday, a strike which took the 2-0 lead early in the second half. It marked his fifth goal contribution of the season, four of which have come in his last four matches. He also recorded one corner and blocked one shot as he played the full 90 minutes for the seventh time this season.
Involved in three of four goals
Donkor scored a goal and had two assists while taking three shots (one on goal) and creating three chances during Wednesday's 4-4 draw with DC United.
Analysis: Donkor set up goals in the 15th and 71st minute while scoring himself in the 21st and tying for the team-high in chances created. The goal involvements were the first since April 4th for the midfielder as he's combined for three shots, four chances created and six tackles over his last three appearances.
