Est. Return 9/21/2025
Questionable once more
Paulo (knee) is a doubt for Tuesday's trip to Miami, per the MLS injury report.
ANALYSIS
Paulo is an injury doubt for Tuesday's clash after being deemed questionable. The midfielder returned to training in August and has been slowly ramping up his workload. He last appeared in June, coming off the bench before suffering the injury. Paulo would likely be a depth option for the most part when fit.
