📋 Team News: Minnesota United

Mikael Marqués (Ankle Injury), Brent Kallman (Achilles tendon problems), Ryen Jiba (Unknown Injury), Bakaye Dibassy (Thigh muscle rupture) and Doneil Henry (Tendonitis) will be missing for Minnesota United boss Adrian Heath.

New York Red Bulls boss Gerhard Struber has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Serge Ngoma (Muscle Injury) and Dru Yearwood (Muscle Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that Red Bulls appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 system, choosing Carlos Coronel, Kyle Duncan, Andrés Reyes, Sean Nealis, John Tolkin, Luquinhas, Frankie Amaya, C. Cásseres Jr, Lewis Morgan, Tom Barlow and Dante Vanzeir.
