D.C. United could use spark vs. Crew. Luciano Acosta might be back to provide it.

Luciano Acosta is listed as “probable” on D.C. United‘s injury report.

Which suggests he’ll be in uniform for Saturday’s match against the Columbus Crew at RFK Stadium, right?

“Probably,” Coach Ben Olsen said with a wry grin.

It’s most definitely good news for United, which, without its Argentine playmaker, failed to score and labored to sustain possession in the first two games of the season.

Sidelined since injuring an ankle in the preseason finale, Acosta increased his training level as this week transpired. Still, the three-week pause between matches would probably prevent him from playing 90 minutes.
