Technically he could. I wonder how game-fit he is though. I mean, he's had a lot of time "off", but I'm surprised this cliche still holds merit. You'd think a guy that hasn't played competitively in a few months would be able to come in ready to play 90, but few really ever are.

Is Sands being sold? Or are we just being super conservative with him getting healthy? This long for an arm injury is crazy and the front office/medical department isn't telling us everything.
And great, Mitrita is now out.
Tides are turning and skies are getting grey.
A pastrami sandwich is more fit and capable than Medina.
Let The Haggis start Wednesday.
Is it pronounced Ma-kay with a long A or Ma-kai with a long I?
I feel like with Ring's knees, I'd be surprised if he played after going all 270 minutes this week. He's played every minute of every MLS game so far this year. Give him the US Open Cup off.

Mata-Parks-Ofori-Torres
Sweat-Callens-Ibeagha

That front line should carve up Orlando, and the defense is good enough to keep from getting torched.
Think you’ll see Sweat just because it’s a home town game for him
It's pronounced the same way you pronounce Stiven Mendoza's first name.
I feel like the last couple of times we tried to play 3-4-3 against Orlando, we had a lot of trouble retaining the ball. I wouldn't be surprised to see us start in a 4-3-3-ish system.

Ofori - Parks - Bedoya
Mata - Sweat - Ibeagha - Torres
Stuver / Johnson
The idea of Nani / Mueller vs Torres / Sweat / Ibeagha is kinda scary.
You don’t think Callens will start? He has fresh legs.
Dome seems to be hesitant to play people shortly after international duty. So maybe we see Callens in there and Sweat at left back. I'm less concerned about the players than the system when it comes to the back, but more interested in individuals in advanced positions where individual agency dominates form.
Normally when returning from ID, the player has logged minutes. This is an odd exception.
