- Patrick Vieira could still be without trio Jefferson Mena, Frank Lampard and Connor Brandt when they host the Impact on Thursday.
- Thomas McNamara was held back from the bench in their 2-0 defeat away to Philadelphia Union at the weekend, but he could return to midfield on Thursday having started six of their seven matches this season.
- Andrea Pirlo wasn't even included in the matchday squad against the Union at the weekend but he has started in all four home matches this season and should return to the starting fold unless he has a slight knock.
- Hassoun Camara is unlikely to feature after being subbed off after 20 minutes in the 2-1 defeat to Toronto last time out.
- Andres Romero, Cameron Porter and Maxime Crepeau are still not back in contention.
- Didier Drogba couldn't find the back of the net in his first start of the season last time out. It remains to be seen whether he can handle starting two games in the space of five days, as well as all the travelling.
