Real Salt Lake opened the second leg of 2016 training camp on Sunday with its flight to Tucson, Arizona, where the club will play four matches in the lead-up to the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal Round series against Tigres starting February 24 in Mexico.
This trip will see RSL play four matches, facing the Portland Timbers, South Korean club Seongnam FC, the New England Revolution and Columbus Crew SC as players get fit and start to gel for pivotal games at the start of the year. The first day saw RSL do a short fitness circuit to get into the swing of things after a few days off in Utah, but also presented an opportunity for Head Coach Jeff Cassar to properly introduce Sunday Stephen Obayan and Chris Wingert, who returns to RSL after one season with New York City FC.
