Out with hamstring injury
Bueno has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Charlotte due to a hamstring injury, according to the MLS player status report.
Analysis: Bueno's hamstring problem is a fresh blow for Philadelphia, who lose a central midfield option for Saturday's game. Jovan Lukic and the newly cleared Danley Jean Jacques could see bigger roles in the middle of the park while Bueno recovers.
Provides first MLS assist
Bueno had an assist with his lone chance created while taking an off target shot and crossing once inaccurately during Saturday's 4-2 win over Orlando.
Analysis: Bueno set up Indiana Vassilev in the 47th minute assisting Philadelphia's third goal. The assist was Bueno's first goal involvement since April and his first MLS assist despite debuting in the league in 2021.
Available against Miami
Bueno (ankle) is on the bench to face Inter Miami on Sunday.
Analysis: Bueno may see limited minutes in this clash following a four-game absence, offering a central midfield option in the rotation with Jovan Lukic and Danley Jean Jacques. Prior to the issue, Bueno made four consecutive league starts, scoring one goal and racking up a variety of possession and defensive stats over that span.
Picks up ankle injury
Bueno is out for the time being due to an ankle injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Bueno is a new addition to the injury report this week due to an ankle injury, adding a midfield absence to a club that was already without Quinn Sullivan. He's been a creative presence in the Union's midfield and a player with legitimate fantasy value when healthy and starting, so his absence this weekend is meaningful. Ankle injuries appearing as out on first listing typically carry at least a two-to-three week timeline, with Jovan Lukic as a possible replacement.
Subs off with injury in loss
Bueno took a blow that forced him to leave Saturday's 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew with an apparent leg injury.
Analysis: Bueno appears to be dealing with an issue that could put his participation in doubt for the next few weeks. However, he'll work on his recovery while hoping to avoid a major problem. He has been quite active lately, scoring one goal over his last four league games. In case of a significant injury for the Venezuelan, Jovan Lukic could feature alongside Jeremy Rafanello in the middle of a four-man midfield.
Five shots in draw
Bueno registered five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.
Analysis: Bueno got forward throughout Saturday's draw, sending in five shots and creating a chance, but failing to break the deadlock. The defender just couldn't beat Sean Johnson, who earned a heroic clean sheet in a scoreless draw. Bueno will hope for better lucking on the attacking front moving forward.
