After playing 45 minutes in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup win over Indy Eleven, his first game back from a knee injury, striker Cucho Hernandez is set to make his first MLS start since March 11. New addition Malte Amundsen, who the Crew acquired in a trade with New York City FC on Monday to replace the injured Will Sands, is on the bench.
