With seven FC Dallas players on international duty during this FIFA match window, coach Oscar Pareja will have to make some modifications ahead of Saturday's contest at D.C. United.

Specifically, there are just four of the nine players listed on FC Dallas' roster as defenders with the club this week. Matt Hedges and Ryan Hollingshead, who started Saturday's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact, Zach Loyd and Aaron Guillen.

"I'd always rather just rest on the FIFA dates, but this is the schedule and we have to adjust to it," Pareja said Tuesday.
