INSIDE THE 18: Connor Lade Enters, Marc Rzatkowski Returns to Starting XI

Chris Armas



Connor Lade will enter the Starting XI for suspended Michael Amir Murillo, while Marc Rzatkowki will return to the lineup after missing a game due to a knock.


Lade takes over on the backline, accompanied by Kemar Lawrence, Tim Parker and Aaron Long.


Rzatkowski slots back into the midfield, with Daniel Royer, Kaku, Sean Davis and Tyler Adams.


Royer, once again, is finding his scoring grove during the Summer months. Royer, who rattled off six goals in four matches last season during the Summer, has scored six goals in the last six matches, including two braces in the previous three games. The Austrian winger recorded his ninth and tenth goal of this season against Vancouver to tally back-to-back seasons with at least 10 goals.


Bradley Wright-Phillips will appear in his 200th career game for the New York Red Bulls across all competitions, starting at forward. 


With 15 goals this season, Wright-Phillips is the first player in MLS history to record 15-plus goals in five consecutive seasons.


Luis Robles will captain the side and start in goal.


Ryan Meara will be available off the bench for New York as the backup keeper, with Brian White, Derrick Etienne, Jr., Alex Muyl, Andreas Ivan, Aurelien Collin and Ethan Kutler for field playing substitutes.


Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. ET with coverage on FS1, FOX Sports GO and New York Red Bulls Radio in English and Spanish on TuneIn.


New York Red Bulls Radio goes live at 6:30 p.m. ET with Honda Countdown to Kickoff, hosted by Matt Harmon. Ernesto Motta will carry the Spanish play-by-play broadcast, beginning at 7 p.m.
