I would be disappointed if this isn't the line up.

What might be interesting is if he doesn't start a pulisic or a weah, or a musah and instead gives them 30 minutes, so he can have his top team ready for Canada.

Canada game is just 2 days after this match, so there will be some squad rotation, question is do you hold back players to save them for Canada or do you start the full A team for El Salvador?

i bet we see Aaronson on the left and Pulisic on the right. Weah as a sub.

I think we see Aaronson in the right to provide some defensive cover for Dest

I would not be shocked to see Gyasi in place of Pepi especially as it's Columbus. And Pepi is struggling right now.

Is he struggling, or is he just on a new team. We dont know what they are doing in training at all.

I think there should be zero chance we play Pulisic anywhere other than on the left, in his best spot.
GGG though

I could see Aaronson or Morris over Weah on the right, but I like Weahs game and he is in good form right now.

Start fast, take a 2 goal lead, sub out our best, park the bus, get ready for Canada.

I like Weah as well, but he is only two games back from an injury and hasn't played a full 90 yet for Lille. He looked really good in his last outing though.

Isn't Morris coming back from an ACL injury? Has he been playing at all recently?

He played some matches at the end of MLS season and the December friendly.

Yedlin most likely not available due to weather related travel delays as he only arrived Wednesday. So Cannon then Lennon are Dest's backup for Honduras

Internet says game time is 6 pm. So, when do we expect actual kickoff?

I'll give Reyna a pass for now but Pulisic is looking like one of those guys that just cannot stay away from the injury bug. And many of them seem to be muscle related.
