Alejandro Bedoya - Back in starting XI Bedoya (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Columbus.

Impact Bedoya returns to the XI Saturday after missing last week's match with a knee issue. He's had a surprisingly good start to the season with two goals, five shots and nine chances created in four starts, but it's hard to see him keeping that up after scoring just three goals in 34 appearances last season.

Stuart Findlay - On bench Saturday Findlay (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Charlotte.

Impact Findlay is back on the bench after recovering from a knee injury. The defender should be in line for a late cameo to test the fitness of his knee, though that is far from a guarantee.
