D.C. United dipped its toe into the 2019 preseason last week, seeing off Bethlehem Steel FC 1-0 despite losing Wayne Rooney to an injury early. Since then, they’ve re-incorporated Luciano Acosta after a brief sojourn to France, and gotten Paul Arriola, Russell Canouse, and Joseph Mora back from national team duty. With those players back, and Rooney apparently fit again, they take on FC Cincinnati for the first time ever tonight in Florida.
Key player: Lucas Rodriguez
Luciano Acosta is back, Rooney’s knock only kept him out for a couple sessions, and it appears we don’t have much to worry about just now from either of United’s superstars.
