Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez
Once again, we feature Cucho Hernandez as a player to watch in one of our articles, but with 15 domestic league goals since the start of the season, you can see why. We expect to see the Colombian among the starters for his manager against DC United as well.
Second player to watch: Diego Rossi
Rossi is another name we’d like to mention here. Coach Nancy owes him a debt of gratitude for his tremendous display. After all, the attacking midfielder has 19 goal contributions in 2024.
