As the Chicago Red Stars get ready to take on Utah Royals FC later tonight, we sat down with Lucas Miller from our friends at RSL Soapbox to scope out the opposition.
1) With a defensive anchor like Becky Sauerbrunn out on NT duty, how do you feel the Royals back line will manage with a front 3 of Sam Kerr, Yuki Nagasato, and Sam Johnson?
Sauerbrunn will be the hardest player to replace now that she’s out with the national team. Utah Royals will still have Rachel Corsie (center back) and Katie Bowen (right back) before they head off with their national teams.
