Real Salt Lake are coming off their first loss of the season. The team has been plagued with injuries and it’s only getting worse. They’re taking on the Colorado Rapids today, who have had the exact same results as RSL, only in reverse (they started with a loss, won two, then drew last weekend). As RSL looks to bring up young guys, the first leg of the Rocky Mountain Cup is on the line in Colorado.
The Pierres and Extreme Hardship
RSL currently have 10 players on their injury report. The only time in recent memory when more players were on that report was in 2018 when 11 players were listed, but in those days there was a “probable” category that a few of the current players would likely be on.
