Returns to bench
Escobar (undisclosed) was on the bench for Saturday's 2-0 loss against Chicago, confirming his return to fitness after being forced off during Wednesday's draw against Portland Timbers, the club posted.
Analysis: Escobar had raised some concern after picking up the knock in the midweek clash, but his inclusion in the matchday squad is a clean bill of health heading into upcoming fixtures. The midfielder should push to regain his starting role as CF Montreal head into the last week before the World Cup break.
Leaves with injury in draw
Escobar was forced off with an undisclosed issue during Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Portland Timbers.
Analysis: Escobar played 35 minutes before picking up a knock in the midweek clash. It was the midfielder's third start in the last four games across all competitions, although he had made a limited impact prior to the injury. Samuel Piette served as his substitute Wednesday and should be the main option to fill in if Escobar faces a considerable recovery period.
