The New York Red Bulls return to MLS action on Wednesday night against the San Jose Earthquakes.


New York will make just two changes from their previous game, a win in New England in U.S. Open Cup action.


Luis Robles will take over in goal for the Red Bulls, while Damien Perrinelle will return to the pitch on defense.


Aaron Long, Sal Zizzo and Connor Lade will in the Starting XI, while Tyler Adams, Sacha Kljestan and Felipe man the central midfield.


Adams made his MLS debut last time out against San Jose on April 13, 2016.


Daniel Royer, Sean Davis and Bradley Wright-Phillips round out the starters.


Wright-Phillips checked off another competition in which he scored in on July 13. Wright-Phillips scored the game-winning goal against New England in the 87th minute to push New York into the Open Cup Semifinals. The London, England, native has now scored in four different competitions and has amassed 87 career goals, 78 MLS regular season, seven MLS playoff, one CONCACAF Champions League and one Open Cup.


On the bench for New York will be Ryan Meara, Hassan Ndam, Dan Metzger, Arun Basuljevic, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Alex Muyl and Gonzalo Veron.


Over the last three MLS matches, Veron has produced four points on one goal and two assists, all four points coming in last five minutes of each match.


Head Coach Jesse Marsch said the team is confident Aurelien Collin will be able to return for Saturday's match against Minnesota United FC.
