Substitute option Saturday Fernandez (undisclosed) is in the starting XI to face Portland Timbers on Saturday.

Impact Fernandez had been forced off in a midweek US Open Cup match, but he avoided major consequences and was selected for the meeting with Portland. The midfielder is expected to take part in offensive play in a No. 10 position, with his inclusion leaving a more defensive-minded Ian Harkes on the bench. Fernandez might enjoy significant minutes only while Timo Werner (hamstring) is sidelined, looking to make the most of his chances to improve on his totals of one goal and one assist over 10 appearances so far.

First career MLS goal Fernandez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle Sounders FC.

Impact Fernandez delivered the most significant moment of his MLS career in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat at Lumen Field, opening the scoring in the second minute by latching onto Nonso Adimabua's intercepted pass at the top left corner of the six-yard box and firing a first-time finish into an open net before the Sounders had time to recover from the early chaos. The central midfielder, who operates as a box-to-box presence in his side and has built a reputation for high-pressing intelligence and late runs into the area, earned the goal his early energy deserved in a match his team ultimately could not hold. Fernandez has recorded one goal and one assist across 9 MLS appearances this season as one of the most consistent midfielders in his side's title-pushing squad.
