Wikelman José Carmona Torres

Carmona (knee) sustained a knee injury during a contact situation in training at the Centre Nutrilait and will miss several weeks of activity, though surgery will not be required, according to Maxime Truman.

Analysis: Carmona had been arguably CF Montreal's best player before the World Cup break, making his absence a significant blow for the club heading into the second half of the MLS season. The injury comes at a difficult time with the club already short of attacking options following Ivan Jaime's return to Europe, putting pressure on sporting director Luca Saputo to accelerate discussions around offensive reinforcements. Noah Streit and Hennadii Synchuk are expected to seize the opportunity on the wing in his absence, though the club's playoff qualification push means they cannot afford to wait long before addressing the attacking depth concerns that have emerged over the break.

Finds net and drives creativity

Carmona scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Portland Timbers.

Analysis: Carmona was the most creative player on the pitch, leading the game with seven chances created but was unable to add an assist to his name despite his impressive creative output, with his only goal contribution coming from his own finish as he converted one of his two shots on target. His repositioning to the right wing over the last three games, two of which have come in the league, has unlocked a new level of offensive production, with seven shots and 12 chances created in those two league appearances highlighting how well the role suits him.
