The lineups are out for the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Semifinals second leg between Atlanta United and NYCFC, and there's one big surprise for the Five Stripes.


Veteran Jeff Larentowicz, listed as questionable ahead of the match with an injury, is out of the 18 altogether for Sunday's clash (5:30 pm ET | ESPN, TSN2, TVAS2). Coming into "Tata" Martino's XI is second-year defender Miles Robinson.

Robinson, 21, made 10 MLS regular season appearances this season for Atlanta, but only three starts. Atlanta's first-ever MLS SuperDraft pick in 2017, Robinson's last start in league play came on May 20 against the New York Red Bulls.


NYCFC, meanwhile, bring young attacker Jesus Medina into the starting XI, replacing Leg 1 starter Ronald Matarrita

Atlanta enter Leg 2 against NYCFC with a 1-0 aggregate advantage.
