Jonathan Mensah returns from ban as Columbus Crew host Portland Timbers

Jonathan Mensah returns from a one-match suspension to bolster Columbus Crew against Portland Timbers on Saturday.

Mensah was shown a straight red card in the 87th minute for violent conduct against Houston two weeks ago.

He missed the match against DC United which they won 2-0.

Mensah joined Crew this season from Russian side Anzhi.
