With the Canadian and Brazilian National Teamers (and Morgan Brian) back in the fold, Houston set to face Western New York Saturday.
The NWSL returns this weekend from the Rio Olympic mini-vacation, but as discussed by so many other news outlets and blogs, the Dash is missing one key (and by key, I mean missing) player in their lineup. Rather than focusing attention on said MIA player, this preview is focused on the players that will actually return to duty this weekend.
Coming off a 2-1 loss to the Spirit and sitting five points above the bottom of the table, Houston will travel to New York to face a third-place team that is having a rather good season.
