New England Revolution
The Revolution faced another match without Peyton Miller due to a foot injury. Brandon Bye and Dylan Borrero, both recovering from torn ACLs from the previous season, were also absent. Although Jonathan Mensah didn’t play in the loss against NYCFC or the subsequent game against Toronto, there’s hope for his return soon from a hamstring injury.

Facundo Farias has been sidelined since January with an ACL injury, and Sergii Kryvtsov is currently recovering from a hamstring issue.
Additionally, Federico Redondo has been ruled out due to a knee injury, while Robert Taylor, who has scored two goals in seven MLS matches this season, is also uncertain due to a hamstring problem.
