"It's crunch time," Movsisyan said. "It's just time to go through some pain."
So Movsisyan had two different boots on. The left provided a bit more wiggle room, more padding to relieve pressure of the usually-snug soccer cleat. He admitted afterward, "I wasn't going for the style. I'm going for comfort."
He's going to need plenty of that. The bone bruise, he's been told, is an injury that could demand a minimum of four weeks off and as many as eight to properly heal. But as Movsisyan said, it's indeed crunch time for RSL (12-11-9, 45 points), which has just two points in its last five matches as its hold on the No.
