Sean Nealis

Back in starting XI

Nealis (shoulder) has made the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash against Houston Dynamo.

Analysis: Nealis took advantage of the World Cup break to regain match form following a three-month absence, bouncing back into a defensive role at the expense of Kye Rowles. This is only the second start of the season for Nealis, and it remains to be seen if he's ready for a 90-minute performance, in which case he would be a reliable defensive contributor.
