Appears in midweek victory
Yazbek (quadriceps) created one scoring chance as a substitute in Wednesday's 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Yazbek made a long-awaited return after being out since early May because of a muscular issue. He replaced Matthew Corcoran during the second half of the match and was rather active in passing and tackling duties during his short time on the pitch. While he's not yet guaranteed to get meaningful minutes, Yazbek will aim to increase his workload if he avoids any physical setbacks as the season progresses. He could eventually serve as an all-around performer, considering he recorded a goal and three assists, along with eight shots, seven chances created, 16 clearances and eight tackles in 657 minutes of play prior to the injury.
Won't play before World Cup break
Yazbek is expected to be sidelined until after the World Cup break after coach BJ Callaghan revealed he sustained a quad injury during warmups prior to the CCC semifinal match against Tigres, Ben Wright of SixOneFive Soccer reports.
Analysis: Yazbek has been very active in midfield this season, so his extended absence will force Nashville to resort to other options such as Bryan Acosta in the next few games. This leaves Yazbek with one goal and three assists over 10 league appearances in the initial stretch of the campaign. He was also expected to represent Australia in the World Cup, but that will no longer be possible, reducing the depth behind Jackson Irvine and Riley McGree.
