New York City FC will host New York Red Bulls this Friday, Sept. 18, at Yankee Stadium at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time and 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

New York City are currently in eighth place in the MLS Eastern Conference, still in the wild-card positions to try to secure a spot in the playoffs. They have 32 points after 25 matches, with eight wins, eight draws, and nine defeats.

The New York Red Bulls, meanwhile, are coming off a 1-0 victory over Columbus Crew on Saturday, Sept. 12, with a goal from Ronald Donkor.

New York City FC vs. NY Red Bulls: Team News & Starting Lineups

Pascal Jansen’s side arrives at this matchup with several key injuries that could affect the team’s performance. Keaton Parks is out with a muscle injury and is expected to return at the end of September. The same is true for Maxi Moralez, who has a knock injury; Thales Magno, who also has a knock injury; Arnau Farnos, with a leg injury; and Kai Trewin, with a leg injury.

On the other hand, Drew Beira has a leg injury and is expected to be available again starting next November.

Bradley, meanwhile, has fewer injury problems, with only Rafael Mosquera absent due to a tightness injury, although his status is not confirmed since the injury does not appear serious. AJ Marcuccini has a cruciate ligament injury, so his absence appears to be long-term.
