Honduran midfielder Amado Guevara finally arrived Thursday night, trained with the team yesterday, and is expected to play.

He may not start, though. That will be a game-time decision by coach Bob Bradley.

"Ruiz has been an incredible goal scorer in our league," Bradley said of the current leader in goals (2). "He's the MVP, the leading scorer. Stopping him is pretty much our scheme."

Guevara's fitness won't be an issue; he is coming straight from the heart of the Honduran league season and recent matches with the Honduran national team. He is expected to pair with Mathis as dual attacking midfielders in a 3-5-2 formation. Guevara's arrival likely will mean the shift of highly touted rookie Ricardo Clark from central midfield to the right wing and the benching of fellow rookie Jacob LeBlanc.
