Finally, after weeks of torture, Real Salt Lake returns to action at Rio Tinto in US Open Cup play against Wilmington Hammerheads.
Through the long road stretch Jeff Cassar made a point to rotate players to save legs for the rest of the season. Take a look at the schedule and you’ll see that congested over the next 8-10 weeks is probably an understatement.
Typically the USOC is seen as an opportunity to get some of the younger players or players who haven’t seen a lot of first team minutes some run in a meaningful competition. Having rested players on and off in the last 3 games there’s a lot of possible options for Cassar to run out in the first game of RSLs Open Cup run.
