Returns to contention for Cincinnati clash
Bartlett has completed his one-match ban and is eligible to feature in Wednesday's MLS matchup against Cincinnati after sitting out the trip to Orlando.
Analysis: Bartlett served his suspension against Orlando after receiving a second yellow card for time wasting during the previous meeting with the New York Red Bulls. The center-back's dismissal had forced his side to finish that match with 10 men, while Sean Nealis emerged as the primary replacement alongside Kye Rowles. With his disciplinary absence now behind him, Bartlett can compete for an immediate return to the starting lineup against Cincinnati, potentially sending Nealis back to the bench.
Sent off Wednesday
Bartlett received a red card in the second half of Wednesday's clash against Red Bull New York.
Analysis: Bartlett left his side with 10 men after being shown an unnecessary second yellow card for time wasting in the midweek game. The defender must now serve a one-game ban Saturday at Orlando, with his next chance to appear coming in a subsequent visit to Cincinnati. Sean Nealis was subbed on immediately after Bartlett's dismissal, suggesting he's the first option to cover at center-back alongside Kye Rowles, although the team also conceded shortly after that, and their defensive weakness could be made even more evident without the experienced player.
