Receives red card against St. Louis
Holding earned a straight red card during the second half of Saturday's match against St. Louis City.
Analysis: Holding made a quick recovery from a slight physical issue but lasted 51 minutes on the pitch before committing a last-man foul that got him sent off Saturday. Such event means the defender will serve a one-game ban Wednesday versus Minnesota United and could play again next weekend at Real Salt Lake. This leaves the Rapids without a regular defensive contributor, whose role may be filled by Noah Cobb in the suspension match.
Stays in starting XI despite injury
Holding (leg) is part of Colorado's starting lineup to face St. Louis City on Saturday.
Analysis: Holding has apparently left behind the discomfort that forced him to leave the previous game against Houston, so he should be active in the back line in future contests. He'll aim to improve on his current averages of 3.5 clearances, 1.3 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per match, although he may not be too valuable for clean sheets given his team's current form. Noah Cobb will remain among the substitutes Saturday, providing backup if Holding can't play 90 minutes.
