Sandy • Five weeks after collapsing to the pitch at Rio Tinto Stadium and suffering an on-field seizure, Real Salt Lake rookie Omar Holness has been cleared to train fully. RSL coach Jeff Cassar said Thursday that the 22-year-old Jamaican midfielder will not undergo surgery on his left shoulder, which was separated during the seizure episode on March 26.
"He healed pretty well," Cassar said. "Now it's about strengthening it and getting it better. Hopefully that's the right route."
In his professional debut on a one-game loan to Real Monarchs, Holness fell suddenly in the 34th minute and was immediately tended to by teammates Devon Sandoval and Max Lachowecki.
