In attack, Jonathan Calleri is suspended, opening the door for youngster Ryan Francisco to start. In defense, Domingos Duarte’s serious knee injury has created a battle between Rafael Toloi and Newton, with a chance both could play together in the back line. In midfield, Bobadilla returns to the main squad.
