Here's how Minnesota United FC will line up against the Colorado Rapids at 5 p.m. Sunday at TCF Bank Stadium:
Bobby Shuttleworth
Jerome Thiesson, Brent Kallman, Francisco Calvo, Marc Burch
Ibson, Sam Cronin
Kevin Molino, Johan Venegas, Miguel Ibarra
Christian Ramirez
Bench: John Alvbage, Ish Jome, Collen Warner, Bashkim Kadrii, Abu Danladi, Justin Davis, Jermaine Taylor
Both Shuttleworth (concussion) and Burch (groin) retain their spots in the starting lineup after injury scares this past week. Schuller (hip) did not make the match-day squad, and Jome takes his place on the bench.
Ibarra returns to the starters after coming in for an injured Schuller late in the first half of last week's 2-2 draw at the Houston Dynamo. Ibson also makes his return to the midfield, pairing with Cronin.
Cronin and Burch are facing their old team after a March 31 transaction sent them to United. By contrast, former Loons' Mohammed Saeid and Josh Gatt are on Colorado's 18-man match-day squad. Saeid is starting while Gatt is available on the bench. Also, Woodbury native Eric Miller, who missed Colorado and United's last meeting, is starting and will face-off against Kallman, his former high school and college teammate (and brother of his girlfriend, Kassey Kallman).
