Since returning from the long Gold Cup break, Columbus Crew SC has featured in a mixed bag of results. The Black & Gold defeated the Philadelphia Union 1-0 at home, lost 3-0 on the road to Philly and drew 2-2 at Real Salt Lake.
And that was all in the span of a week.
With a return to normalcy this week, Crew SC travel out west again to take on the San Jose Earthquakes. We do not expect Federico Higuain (knee) or Harrison Afful (thigh strain) to feature in this one — both are listed as questionable — although Columbus will get back central defenders Jonathan Mensah and Lalas Abubakar from suspension.
