Well, we’re here again. We’re talking injuries. We’ve got clarity from RSL coach Pablo Mastroeni on the latest set of injuries for RSL players, and it’s once again coming from an interview on ESPN 700 with Bill Riley.
The long and the short? We have two center backs that are fit, and that’s probably going to be the case through most of April. Let’s break it down.
- Johan Kappelhof suffered a calf strain and will probably miss 3–4 weeks
- Erik Holt tore his plantar fascia and will miss a staggering 3–6 months (and credit to Holt — he’s made himself somebody who will be missed, such has been his improvement in 2022 over 2021)
- Justen Glad suffered what is likely a hamstring strain, and he’s set for a 3–4 week absence
- Aaron Herrera (not a center back, but I guess if you’re playing him in a back three, he has to be) hasn’t been training with the team “in a couple weeks,” so you’ve got to consider him as having a bit of a recovery time
And that’s just from today’s interview.
