WITNESS THE FIREPOWER OF THIS FULLY ARMED AND OPERATIONAL FOUR-MAN FRONTLINE: Left winger Franco Fragapane was set to make his MNUFC debut the last time the team took the pitch against Real Salt Lake, but at the last moment, a paperwork issue kept him out of the starting XI. Barring something totally out of the blue, there shouldn’t be an issue this time around and the 28-year-old will play his first minutes for the Loons on Saturday away at Dallas. Against the Claret-and-Cobalt, Head Coach Adrian Heath opted for Hassani Dotson out wide on the left before eventually bringing in Niko Hansen in that spot in the 65th minute. Hansen went on to score the game-tying goal in the 78th minute that would earn MNUFC a point, but it’s likely we’ll see him this week on the right side. Emanuel Reynoso was held out of the game against RSL to help speed his recovery from a leg issue that’s been bothering him, but he is expected to return as well, meaning that this will be our first chance to see all of Fragapane, Reynoso and forward Adrien Hunou — who debuted in Utah — this week.
