Set for suspension

Diaz will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the MLS.

Analysis: Diaz picked up his fifth yellow card in the MLS and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's clash against New England. The defender has been an undisputed starter in the back line for Minnesota this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Nicolas Romero expected to start in his place for that game.
