FC Dallas vs Real Salt Lake: Lineup Notes 📝

After a weekend off, FC Dallas is back in action tonight, playing against Real Salt Lake.

Both clubs have announced their lineups, so let’s take a closer look.

We will see a number of players returning from the national team in this game, as Maarten Paes returns to his starting position in goal. In front of him will be a trio of Marco Farfan, Sebastien Ibeagha and Nkosi Tafari. I wouldn't be surprised if we continue to see Ibeagha in the middle of this group.

In midfield, Show returns to the center alongside Asier Illarramendi, with Paul Arriola and Sam Junqua on the flanks.

In attack, Jesus Ferreira and Sebastian Lletget support Petar Musa at the top.

I originally thought Ruan would be back in the starting lineup this weekend after his injury, but that could be saved for Saturday at home against LAFC. Still, we could see him on the bench along with Logan Farrington, Patrickson Delgado and Tsiki Ntsabeleng.

I think we'll continue to see Alan Velasco get more minutes in this game, possibly 30 minutes.

Blocked: none
Out: Geovane Jesus (right knee), Paxton Pomykal (knee), Liam Fraser (thigh)
Questionable: none
On loan: Isaiah Parker
International obligation: none

RSL is missing some key players. It's time to put that to good use.
