Kearyn Baccus was suspended last weekend, but given how important he is to the team in the middle of the midfield, he could be back right away this time. Another player who has a chance of returning to the starting lineup is Moudi Najjar. His goal from the bench was one of the few positive aspects of the 6-1 defeat.
Zawada’s excellent attacking football and current form in front of the goal will ensure that the visitors keep him in the team. New defender Nikko Boxall, who will bring additional quality and defensive experience, may also get a chance to play for the Yellow Army.
