Real Salt Lake midfielder Albert Rusnák experienced an unusual feeling when he found out he would miss two matches with his club for international duty: relief.
“I’m actually happy I’m going to get out of here for a minute because there’s a lot that’s going on off the field,” Rusnák said after training Tuesday, “and the people to speak to about that are probably the higher up people in the club, and they know what’s going on.”
The Slovakia national team called up Rusnák for two friendlies on May 31 and June 4, when Slovakia hosts the Netherlands and Morocco, respectively.
