Starts against Crew
Lukic (head) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's meeting with Columbus Crew.
Analysis: Lukic left the previous game with an apparent injury, although it was not enough to sideline him. He'll consequently look to stay active in a central midfield spot, with his value coming from tackles and accurate passes. The inclusion of both Lukic and Cavan Sullivan in the initial lineup will push Jeremy Rafanello to a backup role.
Exits midweek match with head issue
Lukic was unable to continue in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Orlando City after suffering a potential head injury.
Analysis: Lukic could be sidelined in upcoming weeks if he's dealing with a serious blow, although his exact status remains unclear. He has started in 10 of the last 12 league contests, so his eventual absence would put his team in a tough situation. A more offensive-minded Cavan Sullivan took his place and scored a goal against Orlando, so that could be the main alternative if the injured played requires more time to recover.
