Back from suspension

Westwood has served his one-match suspension and is available for Saturday's clash against Toronto.

Analysis: Westwood had been forced to sit out Wednesday's fixture against NYCFC after accumulating five yellow cards in MLS competition, with Luca de la Torre covering in his absence. The midfielder has started all but one match this season and his return gives the club their preferred midfield setup back heading into the weekend clash against Toronto.

Set for suspension

Westwood is suspended for one match due to yellow card accumulation.

Analysis: Westwood is heading to the sidelines for a match after already reaching five yellow cards this season, suspended for their match against NYCFC on May 13. This will leave the club without a starting midfielder, as he has started in all but one game this season, leaving Brandt Bronico or Luca de la Torre to start in his place. He will next be an option when facing Toronto on May 16.

Assists in loss

Westwood took zero shots, sent in five crosses, took four corner kicks, created four chances, and assisted in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Nashville SC.

Analysis: Westwood delivered a strong performance despite another loss for Charlotte FC. The defensive midfielder comes with some attacking upside given his role on set pieces. He'll look to help Charlotte get back on track in another tough road tilt at New England on Saturday.
