Injuries seem to be the topic of the day here at the RSL News Stand on this Sunday morning, with both the Deseret News and MLSsoccer.com catching up on the latest updates from the team’s training room …

Very disappointed to have caught an injury. Have to deal with it and come back stronger and hungrier than ever.

RSL’s “Quick Restarts”
- Rather than hit the fresh snow that fell overnight, RSL’s staff decided to postpone its annual snowshoeing hike in favor of an off day on the eve of its two-week return trip to Tucson.
- For the record, RSL’s official injury report is as follows: Kyle Beckerman (R adductor strain), Tony Beltran (L adductor strain) Nat Borchers (L quadriceps strain), Will Johnson (R adductor strain), Javier Morales (R quadriceps strain), Álvaro Saborío (R internal knee injury) and Chris Wingert (R hip flexor strain)
- Former RSL striker Robbie Findley came off the bench to score Nottingham Forest’s late insurance tally in a 2-0 win over Coventry in English nPower Championship action on Saturday. The goal broke a scoreless drought for the Phoenix native that dated back to November. Head over to The Original Winger to see both of Nottingham Forest’s goals on the day (and both are worth seeing!).
