Lesesne says Joon is starting. Your starting lineup diagram has Antley where Herrera should be. Also, there are reports that Pirani is off to Vasco da Gama, so his availability may be questionable.
Oops, thanks so much, I've fixed the mistakes on the lineup image.
I saw the report about Vasco but I'll believe it when I see it. Talk is cheap. The Brazilian tweet says DC agreed he can go but Vasco hasn't agreed yet. If DC were getting a big transfer fee they might hold him out of the lineup to avoid injury, but supposedly there's no fee. This whole thing might just be his agent trying to gin up some interest.
From DC's perspective, it makes sense if you believe some reports that DC is shopping for a DP #10 in the midseason window. That newcomer would take Pirani's minutes, so why not free up the slot and get out from under the contract? That all sounds good, but why let him move now, before the MLS window even opens? That doesn't make sense. Now if Vasco wanted to pay a fee, hey, maybe some arrangement could be made, but Brazil is a better and, lately, richer league than MLS so I doubt they would pay for him.
Forgot to add, Lesesne mentioned Gabi unprompted in the pregame press conference when talking about which players would have to step up against Nashville. That tells me he's not only available, he's starting.
