—————————————————————-
1. Matt Turner will start in goal in place of ailing Zack Steffen (back issues).
2. Tim Weah, out more than 7 weeks with quad injury, is fit to start.
3. DeAndre Yedlin was a late arrival after being stranded at Istanbul airport (ice storm).
4. El Salvador, needing a result at all costs, will likely stick to its patented press.
Of note: VAR will debut in the Octagonal with Adonai Escobedo (Mexico) and Tatiana Guzman (Nicaragua) in the  booth.
