Why isn’t Rubio Rubin playing?

If you’ve been trying to puzzle through why Rubio Rubin hasn’t seen significant minutes this season, or if you were wondering why he at least didn’t come on against FC Dallas with a team that simply couldn’t finish, RSL coach Pablo Mastroeni talked through his thought process after last night’s loss to FC Dallas at home.

In a response to a question from podcast host Alex Mower, Mastroeni indicated it’s about his lack of goalscoring in 2022. Rubin has scored no goals dating back to an October 2021 win over Colorado Rapids.

“No, other than he hasn’t found the back of the net in some time,” Mastroeni said.
