- Defender Román Torres makes his first start since suffering a torn ACL at San Jose on Sept. 12 of last season. Torres made his return to the pitch with 45 minutes of action against Portland on Aug. 28 before playing a full 90 minutes for Panama in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Jamaica on Sept. 2.
