It will be a new look backline for Orlando City tonight as they take on the Chicago Fire at Orlando City Stadium. With injuries to Jonathan Spector and Lamine Sané and Amro Tarek away for World Cup duty, Chris Schuler and Tony Rocha will be put into action at center back.
This will be Schuler’s second start of the season and RJ Allen’s first as center back. It will be Rocha's first start of the season.
RJ Allen will step in for Will Johnson at right back.
Josué Colmán will start up top in place of Dom Dwyer. Colmán looked effective in that position late in the game in Toronto. Look for him to play with false 9 positioning, dropping into the midfielder and allowing City’s talented midfield to get in on goal.
Coverage for tonight’s match starts to 7:00pm ET on WRDQ TV27 and Youtube TV.
Starting XI Presented by Orlando Health: Bendik, El-Munir, Schuler, Rocha, Allen, Rosell, Higuita, Meram, Mueller, Kljestan, Colmán.
Bench: Powers, Laryea, PC, Toia, Pinho, Edwards Jr., Grinwis.
