Nashville SC are on the road for their third-consecutive match, traveling to take on Columbus Crew.
After making his return from a nearly two-month concussion absence, Walker Zimmerman has been removed from the injury report entirely. The defender made his first appearance in 49 days last weekend, coming off the bench for the final 23 minutes in a 2-1 win over Toronto FC.
Notably, Taylor Washington is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. The left back went off with a knee injury on May 6 in a US Open Cup win over Chattanooga Red Wolves, with BJ Callaghan today confirming that he'll be out for between eight and 12 weeks. Sources have told SixOneFive Soccer that the injury is to his Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL).
Tate Schmitt has been signed as cover for Washington, with Callaghan telling media that he's been going through something of a preseason camp himself to get back up to full fitness. His last match action was six months ago against the Seattle Sounders on November 3.
