After a disappointing defeat on the road to New York Red Bull last weekend, the Columbus Crew returns home for “Battle at the Death Star” night at Lower.com Field and a matchup with Atlanta United.
Due too international call-ups and a few key injuries, the Crew will be forced to use a heavily-rotated squad in this match. Goalkeeper Eloy Room (Curaçao), center back Milos Degenek (Australia) and attacking midfielder Lucas Zelarayan (Armenia) will all miss this match while with their respective national teams. Midfielder Kevin Molino and forward Cucho Hernandez are also both out with injuries.
