DC United team news

DC United are contending with a lengthy injury list. Gabriel Pirani, João Peglow, Dominique Badji, Lukas MacNaughton, and Jackson Hopkins are all sidelined. However, the return of leading scorer Christian Benteke, who played the full 90 minutes in the previous match after recovering from a quad strain, is a significant boost for the hosts.

The team otherwise remains short-handed in attack and midfield, with Peglow and Badji both expected to miss out again. No new suspensions have been reported.

New York City FC team news

New York City FC also face several injury concerns. Defenders Birk Risa, Kevin O’Toole, and Malachi Jones are all out with leg injuries, while midfielder Keaton Parks is sidelined with a foot problem, missing his first regular-season game of the year.

These absences have forced NYCFC to shuffle their lineup, with Aiden O’Neill and Nico Cavallo stepping in during the last match. No new suspensions are reported, but the squad’s depth will be tested, particularly in defense and midfield.
