David Villa returns to the New York City FC XI for Saturday night’s encounter with the San Jose Earthquakes.
The Spanish striker, who missed the last two games with a calf injury, is one of two changes to the team which started the 2-2 draw with New England Revolution.
Elsewhere, Anton TInnerholm comes in for Ben Sweat, who was ill in the week, as the only other alteration to that side, meaning Ismael Tajouri-Shradi will have the chance to add to his two goals in three starts.
Ebenezer Ofori continues to replace the injured Alex Ring at the base of midfield, alongside Yangel Herrera and Maxi Moralez, while Villa is flanked by Jesus Medina and Tajouri-Shradi.
