"I feel like we're more solid. ... We showed more personality tonight. I'm very happy for Sean coming back."

Last night, when talking to Steven Moreira, he sounded optimistic that Camacho could possibly be an option for #Crew96 final game of the season vs New York Red Bulls

After getting Diego Rossi and Sean Zawadzki back on the field last night, #Crew96 continue getting healthier with Rudy Camacho starting in today’s Crew 2 matchup

Camacho has not played a game this season due to a preseason thigh injury

#Crew96 Sean Zawadzki just referred to Max Arfsten as a “step over king”

This game is showing that #Crew96 really needed Sean Zawadzki back

To be fair, that was on Schulte, I don’t think too much much blame can be put on the defense there

Schulte has to grab the ball, or at least keep it near his body #Crew96

I know Orlando has barely had the ball, but in those short moments, this is the strongest #Crew96 defense has looked in a while

Correction: #Crew96 said he would be giving him a few minutes with Crew 2, rather than the first team

#Crew96 Wilfried Nancy said he's aiming to see if defender Rudy Camacho can play a "few minutes" in the upcoming game vs Orlando City

Camacho has missed the entire 2025 season with a thigh injury

“Some teams might celebrate … But that's not who we are as a team”

#Crew96 MLS Cup playoff berth was secured last night, but it wasn’t by their own doing as they dropped another game. My latest on the team’s thoughts - and more - below

While #Crew96 defense has struggled this season, this has to be the most uncharacteristic game I've seen from Steven Moreira just in terms of turnovers

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get to play too much together. … It was a good dynamic between us”

Without Abou Ali and possibly Rossi, #Crew96 look to Gazdag to move past his previous struggles and continue building on the momentum he had with his frontline teammates

www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Can Crew's Daniel Gazdag continue building momentum without Wessam Abou Ali, Diego Rossi?

Columbus Crew took a hit when both Wessam Abou Ali, Diego Rossi became unavailable, and will need Daniel Gazdag to step up in their final stretch.

Lassi was with the team as well, but nothing official on if he’ll be on the game day roster (or why he has missed those games)
