James Sands will make his first MLS start for NYCFC in Wednesday night's showdown with the New England Revolution.
The 18-year old midfielder has returned from a loan spell at Louisville City where he made three USL appearances and goes straight into Dome Torrent's XI as one of four changes from Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Columbus.
Elsewhere, Alexander Callens returns to the team following his knee injury in place of Maxime Chanot who is away with Luxembourg and it's Taty Castellanos in for Rodney Wallace who is also absent due to the FIFA window.
On the face of it, Torrent has selected a 4-3-3, with Taty and Ronald Matarrita providing the width on either side of David Villa, with Maxi Moralez, Alex Ring and Sands the midfield three.
