On bench Friday
Rivero (head) is on the bench for Friday's encounter with FC Juarez.
ANALYSIS
Rivero may see few minutes in this match because of his injury, but he should bounce back into the initial squad for subsequent fixtures. He has recently played in a central attacking midfield role, but it's holding midfielder Lorenzo Faravelli who will take his place against Bravos, with either Luka Romero or Carlos Rodriguez moving forward.
