It’s been an incredible playoff run thus far for Real Salt Lake. Today they take on a team who has had their number all year. The Portland Timbers are without Asprilla, and Blanco was listed as questionable on the injury report, though his status was later upgraded to probable. Even with Asprilla and Blanco out, this will be the biggest postseason test for RSL.
Rusnak back
Albert Rusnak tested positive for COVID-19 the week of RSL’s first playoff game. After a ten day quarantine, he rejoined the team on Wednesday. Rusnak told RSL Soapbox that he felt fine and rested, much like he would after having a holiday.
