After a nine-day break, the Revolution return to action Saturday, concluding the season series against D.C. United at 7:30 at RFK Stadium.

Just like the Revolution, United will be missing their top offensive player after reigning Major League Soccer MVP Dwayne De Rosario sustained a sprained MCL while playing for Canada Tuesday night. De Rosario (seven goals, 12 assists) is out 10-12 weeks, leaving United (12-10-5, 41 points) with a big hole in the midfield as they push for a playoff berth. The Revolution lost leading scorer Saer Sene to a torn ACL suffered in a match Aug. 29.

The Revolution (7-14-7, 28 points) have lost both meetings this season (2-1 and 3-2) but haven’t played United since May 26. Eight of the last 10 matchups have resulted in a one-goal difference, including the last five.


Four of New England’s final six matches are on the road. The Revolution are 1-10-2 away from Gillette Stadium this season, with the lone victory coming March 31 at Los Angeles.

Matt Reis holds all goalkeeping records for the Revolution and Saturday he could reach another milestone. Reis has played 24,581 minutes in MLS and is 85 minutes from passing Zach Thornton for fourth on the all-time list. Reis has posted two consecutive shutouts, giving him six on the season.
