Will Tuiloma be replaced? They already have 1 defender less than the previous squad.

I guess Reid who looks to be training hard will be there as a mentor. Maybe he’s not far off being ready for bench cameos.
Tuiloma won't be replaced. They have four CB options – M Boxall and Pijnaker, who will likely start v The Gambia, then Smith, and de Vries.

I reckon it will be Pijnaker/Boxall verus Algeria 'A'. Then Pijnaker/Smith verus The Gambia. 

Date of Portland v Minnesota playoff yet to be officially released, but will be sometime 20th-22nd Nov. Gambia game 16th Nov. Boxall will face a 15-20 hour return trip to Minny, from the UAE. If Singh was released early last window (skipping Bahrain game) for a regular JR league game (and only a 4-5 hr flight to Germany), you'd not be surprised if similar leeway given to Boxy & MU for their biggest club game of the year.

So if Boxall snr skips The Gambia, squad a little thin with debutant de Vries (who has been playing LB for his club all season) as the sole CB backup.

Guess all likely depends on how is Hay's relationship with Minny coach Heath. Plus state of Boxy's body to backup games quickly on a short turn around, and lengthy travel. 

Edit - note actual games now moved from Abu Dhabi (training base) to Dubai.
