Columbus Crew SC comes off a week layoff after three consecutive wins. The fresh Black & Gold side will face a Sporting Kansas City team that gave up a late goal in a midweek road trip to face New York City FC.
Crew SC were able to rest and recover over the international break. Waylon Francis, Artur, and Ola Kamara were held out of training over the break. Kamara and Artur returned to training and appear available, while Francis may take more time back to full fitness.
The team’s key international starters came back mostly healthy as well.
