Picks up ankle injury
Bueno is out for the time being due to an ankle injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Bueno is a new addition to the injury report this week due to an ankle injury, adding a midfield absence to a club that was already without Quinn Sullivan. He's been a creative presence in the Union's midfield and a player with legitimate fantasy value when healthy and starting, so his absence this weekend is meaningful. Ankle injuries appearing as out on first listing typically carry at least a two-to-three week timeline, with Jovan Lukic as a possible replacement.
Subs off with injury in loss
Bueno took a blow that forced him to leave Saturday's 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew with an apparent leg injury.
Analysis: Bueno appears to be dealing with an issue that could put his participation in doubt for the next few weeks. However, he'll work on his recovery while hoping to avoid a major problem. He has been quite active lately, scoring one goal over his last four league games. In case of a significant injury for the Venezuelan, Jovan Lukic could feature alongside Jeremy Rafanello in the middle of a four-man midfield.
Five shots in draw
Bueno registered five shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United.
Analysis: Bueno got forward throughout Saturday's draw, sending in five shots and creating a chance, but failing to break the deadlock. The defender just couldn't beat Sean Johnson, who earned a heroic clean sheet in a scoreless draw. Bueno will hope for better lucking on the attacking front moving forward.
