Omar Holness resurfaced in the Real Salt Lake locker room Monday morning, less than 48 hours after suffering an on-field seizure in his professional debut. He did so both with a smile and his left arm in a sling.
The 22-year-old Jamaican midfielder fell to the pitch at Rio Tinto Stadium in the 34th minute of his one-game loan appearance with Real Monarchs in the club's 2016 USL season opener Saturday night. During the seizing episode that caused a 20-minute delay in the Monarchs' eventual 1-0 win over St. Louis FC, Holness also suffered a separated left shoulder.
