2025 Fantasy Outlook
Byrne held his own at right-back during his second full season as a starter in Charlotte. He logged two assists, 80 clearances and 72 crosses, only missing three matches in the regular season due to a minor muscle injury. He averaged 15 accurate forward zone passes per contest, maintaining a 79-percent pass accuracy. With Charlotte set to have little change to its back line, look for him to have a similar campaign. On the downside, he has no goals and just three assists across 64 starts the last two seasons.

Working on grass with ball
Byrne (neck) was shown working on grass and training with a ball while being around three weeks out from a return, according to Will Palaszczuk of WFNZ.
ANALYSIS
Byrne is seeing a major update after some time out due to neck surgery, as the defender was able to take the field for individual training with a ball and on grass. This is great news, as a return is nearing. That sai, he remains around three weeks out, returning near the end of July.
