Charlotte FC team news
Charlotte were without Nathan Byrne in Chicago due to a neck issue, while youngster Nimfasha Berchimas also missed out with a foot problem. Things won't get easier this weekend, as Tim Ream and Patrick Agyemang are unavailable with the U.S. having reached the CONCACAF Gold Cup final. To add to the selection headache, Wilfried Zaha is suspended after picking up another yellow card.
Last week's scorers Pep Biel and Idan Gorno Toklomati gave Charlotte a second-half spark, but it wasn’t enough to rescue a point.
Orlando City team news
As for Orlando, Duncan McGuire missed their loss to Cincinnati due to a shoulder knock, and Joran Gerbet was sidelined with a thigh strain. Defender Alexander Freeman is also ruled out after being called up to the U.S. squad that advanced to the Gold Cup final with a 2-1 win over Guatemala.
Marco Pasalic offered a late glimmer of hope for the Lions with a goal just before the 90th minute, drawing level with Martin Ojeda atop the club’s scoring charts—both on nine goals apiece in this competition.
