RSL coach Juarez says Jeizon Ramirez absence down to fitness

If you’ve been wondering where Jeizon Ramirez, one of RSL’s notable signings from the offseason (which seems like it was years ago, not months, but that’s neither here nor there), wonder no longer.

He’s in the bubble, but in his post-match press conference following the club’s draw with Minnesota United, RSL coach Freddy Juarez said he’s lacking fitness after the return to training following the COVID-19-enforced break taken by MLS teams.

“Jeizon, he came, this whole COVID thing happened, and he lost a little bit of fitness and isn’t quite as fit as we’d like him to be,” Juarez said.
