Injury Report Columbus 8/26

FRISCO - FC Dallas will catch a slight break this weekend with a late addition to the #CLBvFCD injury report. 

INJURY REPORT: FC Dallas at Columbus Crew SC | 8.26.17 -

Columbus Crew SC


QUESTIONABLE: Niko Hansen (Thigh Strain), Artur (Thigh Strain), Harrison Afful (Foot Sprain)
OUT: Waylon Francis (Thigh Strain)
SEASON-ENDING IR: Gaston Sauro, Ben Swanson 


Crew SC will be without starting left back Waylon Francis, who picked up a hamstring injury on Wednesday night vs. LA, likely meaning Jukka Raitala will get the task of shutting Michael Barrios coming off a strong mid-week performance.


Midfielder Artur and defender Harrison Afful, both key pieces of Columbus' usual starting formation are questionable after missing Wednesday night's match. Midfielder Nico Hansen, largely used in a substitute role, is questionable after missing Crew SC's last 10 matches.
