Last week didn’t go as planned for Luchi Gonzalez and FC Dallas when they stumbled late against the Philadelphia Union. Now they’ve returned home to host a winless Portland Timbers side in the first home night game of the year.
Gonzalez brought in a few big changes last week in Philadelphia, some partly due to suspensions to Carlos Gruezo, Pablo Aranguiz and Jesse Gonzalez. Those three are expected to be available this weekend as the club returns home. Gonzalez should also have Santiago Mosquera back from an undisclosed illness that kept him out of the last game.
