Jermaine Jones probable to return to Rapids' starting lineup vs. LA Galaxy

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Colorado Rapids manager Pablo Mastroeni says there is "a good possibility" that midfielder Jermaine Jones will be in the starting lineup for the second leg of the Western Conference semifinals against the LA Galaxy.

The Rapids head into Sunday's match trailing 1-0 from the first leg, and given that they only scored 39 goals during the regular season, they'll need all the offensive firepower they can muster. That demands that Jones be on the field from the beginning.

If that's the case, it would mark Jones' first start since July 4 against the Portland Timbers, when he tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee.
