Doubtful with knee discomfort
Choupo-Moting is at risk of missing upcoming games while he recovers from a knee issue, per the MLS player status report.
Analysis: Choupo-Moting is one of RBNY's most prominent attackers, an experienced striker who brings European pedigree and a proven goal-scoring record, so a knee concern putting him in doubt is an impactful news for their offensive depth. If he can't play, the club's ability to threaten in the final third drops considerably without its most experienced forward option. However, despite converting a penalty kick in his most recent outing, he has been relegated to a backup role behind Julian Hall, who should continue to lead the front line for now.
Converts penalty in win
Choupo-Moting scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Choupo-Moting replaced Julian Hall at halftime Saturday and after playing the entire second half it marked his second longest appearance this season. He made the most of his playing time as he stepped up to the penalty spot in the 81st minute and scored to give New York a commanding 3-0 lead. He now has two goals in 176 minutes of action this season.
