Lineup news

• Aaron Maund is out with his bum toe, but there’s always speculation he could return before the end of the year. It’s just, well, maybe that’s only if we make MLS Cup. Emery Welshman’s absence continues, inevitably. Jeff Attinella remains out, too — he’s had an elbow injury, according to the match preview provided by the club.
• Sunny is available again, and on the road, it’s easy to imagine that he’ll start — it’s a time when we need a more defensive approach.
• A slew of players are listed as probable: Chris Schuler, Jordan Allen, Justen Glad, Javier Morales, Olmes Garcia, Yura Movsisyan, Joao Plata. That’s not a bad lineup, is it?

Predicted lineup

RSL XI: Rimando; Beltran, Olave, Glad, Phillips; Beckerman, Sunny, Morales; Martinez, Movsisyan, Plata
