The New York Red Bulls are looking at another foreign face to reinforce their club.

Chilean midfielder Santiago Dittborn arrived in camp late last week and survived the weekend, rejoining New York for training Monday morning.

Dittborn, 22, is a central midfielder who has played on the wing at Universidad Catolica in Chile’s first division. He most recently trialed with the Philadelphia Union.

“He’s a good passer, he’s a smart soccer player and he has done OK,” Red Bulls boss Jesse Marsch said of his young trialist, adding, “Not sure yet. We will see how it goes.”

While the Red Bulls assumed Dittborn was more of a flank midfielder, Marsch has seen enough to assess him to be a deep lying midfielder instead. With the glut in either position, Dittborn would be in for an uphill battle should Red Bull give him the nod.

KEMAR LAWRENCE TO START WEDNESDAY

After taking the weekend to stay in Jamaica following his nation’s second place Gold Cup finish, Kemar Lawrence is slated to jump right back into the fire for the New York Red Bulls this Wednesday against Montreal.

“Yeah he will be available,” Marsch said. “He will start the game.”

Lawrence has not featured with New York since July 5th when the Red Bulls fell to Columbis 2-1 at Mapfre Stadium. However, unlike past Red Bulls coaches, Marsch has set a standard for his assumed starters; they will not lose their starting status due to injury or international call-ups. That sets Lawrence up to get the nod for the Red Bulls midweek Montreal clash.
