York United Injury List: Players Out and Return Dates vs Forge

York United welcome Forge to York Lions Stadium in a key Canadian Premier League Group Stage clash on 2026-07-26, with the two clubs arriving in sharply contrasting form. York United sit 7th in the table on 13 points after 11 matches, carrying a negative goal difference of -8 and a recent run of “DLLLL” that underlines their struggle to turn performances into results. At home, they have been inconsistent, winning two, drawing one and losing two of five, with a tendency to both score and concede heavily.

Forge travel as the benchmark side in the division, top of the Canadian Premier League standings with 31 points from 12 games and a formidable goal difference of +13. Their overall record of 10 wins, one draw and just one defeat, combined with a perfect “WWWWW” current form line, makes them the clear pacesetters and favourites in this fixture. They have been particularly ruthless away from home, winning five of six on their travels and averaging 2.0 goals scored per away game while conceding less than one.

For York United, this matchup represents both a test and an opportunity: a chance to halt a four-game losing streak and reset their season against the division leaders. Forge, meanwhile, will view the trip as another step in consolidating their position at the top and maintaining momentum towards the play-offs, where their current standing already points to a Semi-finals trajectory. With the league table compressed beneath Forge, every Group Stage point is crucial, and both teams will be acutely aware that the tactical battle and in-game management at York Lions Stadium could have lasting implications for their campaigns.
