The New York Red Bulls are in the midst of a summer schedule that is going to bring them a game every three or four days until July 17. Squad rotation is necessary, and has already begun.
Ronald Zubar took a knock at the weekend against Seattle Sounders, and RBNY head coach Jesse Marsch suggested the center back might not have played this game anyway. Mike Grella just welcomed a daughter to his family, so it might be a good time to let him have a day or two off.
