Remains out Sunday
Camacho (chest) is out for Sunday's game against FC Cincinnati.
Analysis: Camacho will miss a second straight game, but he hasn't even made the bench in eight of Columbus' last 10 games -- his last league appearance came Aug. 19 in a 2-1 loss to CF Montreal. Given his limited playing time lately, Columbus should be used to Camacho's absence. He was a regular starter in the first months of the season and before the World Cup break.
Ruled out Wednesday
Camacho (torso) is out for Wednesday's clash with Charlotte, per the MLS Injury Report.
Analysis: Camacho is on the sideline for Wednesday's clash due to an upper body injury. He has gone unused in the last six matches due to a foot issue and general lack of fitness. It's not clear if this is somehow related or not, but he seems set for another spell on the sideline.
Option versus Miami
Camacho (foot) is among the substitutes for Sunday's meeting with Inter Miami.
Analysis: Camacho missed the previous six league contests while working on his recovery and was considered fit enough for a bench role Sunday. The defender had served as a regular starter at center-back before suffering the injury, so he could soon take over from either Malte Amundsen or Eric Bailly, in which case he could be relied on for passes and clearances.
Remains sidelined
Camacho (foot) is out for Sunday's game against New England.
Analysis: Camacho suffered the injury in mid-August and has yet to return to the side. There aren't many details regarding the severity of the injury, so it's unclear when the center-back will return to action.
Leaves with injury against Montreal
Camacho was forced to abandon the midweek match against Montreal due to a potential muscle blow.
Analysis: Camacho made his 18th league start of the season but was unable to produce in a short outing before being replaced by Cesar Ruvalcaba. The Frenchman is leading Columbus with an average of 4.7 clearances per game, so the team sees its defensive quality reduced without him. While it remains unknown if the injury will rule him out for more weeks, he's now a major doubt given the short turnaround in the current double game week.
In starting XI Wednesday
Camacho is part of Columbus' starting lineup to face New York City FC on Wednesday.
Analysis: Camacho had accumulated five yellow cards before the World Cup break, but he was ultimately allowed to play in the return to action. He'll consequently stay active in his usual center-back role and could be trusted for his season averages of 75.7 accurate passes, 5.0 clearances and 1.7 interceptions per game.
Suspended one game
Camacho will serve a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation and will miss the clash against New York City on July 22 following the World Cup break, according to the league.
Analysis: Camacho is an undisputed starter in the back line and his absence will force a reshuffle in central defense, with Steven Moreira expected to take on a larger role in his place during the suspension. Camacho is set to return to the starting lineup once the ban has been served and MLS action continues after the tournament.
Keeps clean sheet Saturday
Camacho generated one tackle (zero won), five clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 win against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Camacho kept his second clean sheet of the season Saturday, his first since March 8 versus Chicago. He made five clearances for the fifth time this season and also intercepted two passes and blocked one shot. He played the full 90 minutes for the eighth time this season, including the fifth match in a row.
