Yura Movsisyan wasn’t at 100% on Thursday. However, the Real Salt Lake forward knows there isn’t much time to let the bone bruise in his left heel recover as RSL gets set for the final two matches of the regular season and the MLS Cup Playoffs to follow.
“It’s going to hurt. But it’s crunch time,” Movsisyan said after his return to the practice field after being limited in his workouts the last two weeks after suffering the injury in training. “It’s time to go through some pain.”
Movsisyan has played just 14 minutes in the last two matches and while RSL has looked to raise the intensity as the playoffs draw nearer, the club has scored just once in the last four matches.
