Starting Saturday Russell (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Salt Lake.

Impact Russell returned to training earlier in the week, so this return to the starting XI isn't unexpected. The forward likely won't have missed a beat, and should have no issues leading the line once more. Russell is a strong fantasy play, especially if he plays the full 90.
