Colorado Rapids team news and form: Suspension burdens Armas
Not only is goalkeeper-in-chief Zack Steffen injured, but now, coach Armas will not be able to rely on Wayne Frederick. He saw a 67th-minute red card in the match against Portland Timbers, which is why we think we will see Connor Ronan in the centre of the pitch.
Predicted lineup: Hansen (GK), Murphy, Maxso, Cannon, Travis, Larraz, Atencio, Bassett, Mihailovic, Ku-DiPietro & Yapi
