Despite the quick turnaround from a 1-0 loss at Real Salt Lake this past Saturday, Minnesota United has fielded the same starting 11 on Wednesday against the Portland Timbers:

Bobby Shuttleworth

Kevin Venegas, Brent Kallman, Francisco Calvo, Jerome Thiesson

Sam Cronin, Ibson

Abu Danladi, Kevin Molino, Miguel Ibarra

Christian Ramirez

Bench: Patrick McLain, Jermaine Taylor, Justin Davis, Collen Warner, Rasmus Schuller, Collin Martin, Bashkim Kadrii

The only change from four days ago is Ibarra and Danladi switching sides of the pitch. With left-back Marc Burch out for an extended period of time because of surgery, Jerome Thiesson continues on in his place while Venegas plays again in Thiesson's old spot.

Unlike last weekend, though, United did field a full bench despite several injuries.

Here's how Portland will line up:
