Sandy • It's been six months since Justen Glad last walked out of a tunnel as a starter. The last time being Real Salt Lake's 0-0 draw in El Salvador against Santa Tecla FC in CONCACAF Champions League group play on Sept. 15, 2015.
But the 19-year-old is preparing potentially for his first start since last September this weekend as center back Jamison Olave continues to work through a quadriceps strain that kept him out of training most of the week. Glad said he's ready if called upon to face the reigning MLS Cup champions Portland Timbers this weekend at Providence Park.
