Mauricio Cienfuegos is with El Salvador, which is host to Mexico in another, equally important, qualifying game for France ’98. Goalkeeper Jorge Campos is suspended because of a red card received in his return last Saturday, a 3-1 loss to Kansas City.

Revolution update--New England, under 1996 MLS coach of the year and former Los Angeles Aztec Thomas Rongen, has won three in a row and is in second place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind defending champion Washington D.C. United. Assistant Renato Capobianco replaces the suspended Rongen today after a Rongen run-in with referee Tim Weyland in Dallas. Forward Chiquinho Conde of Mozambique is the league’s sixth-leading scorer but misses the game because of the death of his brother. The Revolution also features World Cup ’90 goalkeeper Walter Zenga of Italy.
