Impact Shelton was back from a minor hamstring injury and he came on for the injured Remi Walter.

Impact Shelton wasn't very effective against Columbus on Saturday, and he really hasn't been very good at all this season thus far.

It might not be long before on-loan striker Nikola Vujnovic gets his chance in the starting lineup.
