Molino and Metanire both are recovering from hamstring injuries, Molino a little further ahead than Metanire.
Both have been designated as substitutes available off the bench tonight for a team that remains the only unbeaten MLS team this season: 2-0 in two March regular-season games and 3-0-2 in tournament games.
According to a tweet not long ago by Washington Post soccer writer Steven Goff, tonight's game start has been delayed from 7:09 pm Central time to 7:23 pm because of storms rumbling through central Florida this afternoon and evening.
ESPN2 is carrying tonight's game.
Don't forget: A place in Tuesday's tournament final against Portland is at stake on a night when Heath and Molino both face their former Orlando City club.
Here's your MNUFC lineup for tonight:
Lod Amarilla Finlay
Hayes Alonso Gregus
Gasper Boxall Aja Dotson
Miller
The subs: Metanire, Molino, Ranjitsingh, Emmings, Kallman, Musa, Hairston, Edwards, Toye, Schoenfeld.
Minnesota started only two strikers against Seattle, leaving Sang Bin Jeong and Joseph Rosales to provide the width behind Teemu Pukki and Kelvin Yeboah.
