Nathan Byrne News: Back fit with Charlotte

Byrne (neck) played 62 minutes in Thursday's 4-1 loss against Juarez in the Leagues Cup, confirming his return from a long-term injury.

Byrne suffered a severe neck injury that required surgery, but that injury is now in the past since he made his return on Thursday as expected for the Leagues Cup and played 62 minutes. This is good news for the Crown, as he had been an undisputed starter at right-back before missing all matches since mid-April. Byrne will likely reclaim his starting role in upcoming fixtures for Charlotte, with the hope of avoiding any setbacks.
