Centre-back Alex Callens is out for New York City FC with a knee injury while winger Jesus Medina is also sidelined with a hamstring problem.

Both injuries occurred in last weeks’ 2-0 defeat at Philadelphia Union on a costly night for the club.

Not only were two vital players hurt but Ronald Matarrita was also shown a red card and is suspended for this one.

The winner in the Big Apple duel will close the gap on Supporters’ Shield leaders Atlanta United.
