Real Salt Lake are on the road to take on their two biggest rivals in Sporting Kansas City (this weekend) and the Colorado Rapids (next weekend). RSL are flying high after taking 10 points from their first four games, whereas SKC have just a single win and three losses so far.
The injured
RSL’s injury report has been a mile long this season, and with players like Aaron Herrera going back on the list, it’s concerning. Head coach Pablo Mastroeni has emphasized players pushing themselves and some have questioned if the injuries are related. Regardless, Damir Kreilach, Marcelo Silva, and Rubio Rubin appear to have traveled with the team to KC and it’s a good sign if they made the trip.
