INSIDE THE 18: Luquinhas, Ashley Fletcher On Bench for Tilt vs. Crew

The two most-recent additions to the squad will start the match on the bench for New York Red Bulls as they take on Columbus Crew.

Ashley Fletcher and Luquinhas will both be available for Gerhard Struber off the bench.

Struber will start Patryk Klimala up top, supported by Omir Fernandez and Lewis Morgan in behind.

Frankie Amaya and Dru Yearwood will lock down the defensive midfield, with John Tolkin and Tom Edwards running as wingbacks.

Amaya is tied for the league-lead in assists with three in his three appearances this season.

Aaron Long will be paired with the brothers, Sean and Dylan Nealis, as centerbacks.

Last time the two sides faced each other, Sean Nealis scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory at Lower.com Field. 

Carlos Coronel starts in goal.

Cristian Cásseres Jr. returns to the matchday roster following his hip injury, joining Luquinhas and Fletcher on the bench. Tom Barlow, Caden Clark, Lucas Monzón, Daniel Edelman and Serge Ngoma fill out the rest of the bench, with Ryan Meara serving as backup goalkeeper.
