Luke Mulholland’s absence from Real Salt Lake in 2018 is finally getting an explanation, with the player himself revealing that he’s undergoing surgery after prolonged chronic back pain.

Mulholland’s Twitter post, which includes several emoji that are not transcribed below, says this has been an issue since the second day of preseason.
I’ve been battling chronic back pain since day 2 of preseason camp.
