Nashville SCUnlikely until World Cup break
Tagseth (lower body) is at risk of staying out for a couple more months as coach BJ Callaghan thinks it's "a long shot" for him to return before the World Cup break, Ben Wright of SixOneFive Soccer reports.
Analysis: Tagseth will likely miss a longer period with the injury he picked up during an April 28 match against Tigres in CONCACAF Champions Cup action. The midfielder was a key player before the issue, and his loss hurts the squad in terms of ball recovery and possession. Given that Patrick Yazbek (quadriceps) is also sidelined, Matthew Corcoran and Bryan Acosta might start in central midfield for now.
Set for time out
Tagseth is out for the time being due to a lower-body injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Tagseth is a new addition to Nashville's report alongside Sam Surridge, giving the club two significant new absences heading into the weekend. He's been a key midfield contributor for Nashville, and his absence reduces their ability to press and create in the middle of the park. Fantasy managers who have invested in Nashville's attacking players should note that the club is now dealing with multiple fresh injury concerns. Matthew Corcoran and Patrick Yazbek will likely start in the midfield with Tagseth out.
