D.C. United fits in friendly vs. Olimpia amid tight MLS playoff race and jammed schedule

D.C. United vs. Olimpia (Honduras)

What: Friendly. Where: Audi Field.

When: Wednesday, 8 p.m.

Outlook: With United locked in a tight MLS playoff race and the roster in need of rest after 14 games in nine weeks, the timing of the first international match at Buzzard Point is terrible. Even though D.C. does not have an MLS game this weekend, Coach Ben Olsen will play reserves, such as goalkeeper Travis Worra; defenders Kevin Ellis and Jalen Robinson; midfielders Chris Durkin, Ian Harkes, Bruno Miranda and Jared Jeffrey; and forward Dane Kelly.
