Three RSL starters have been struck by a minor illness. On the eve of their match against Tigres, Matt Montgomery reported on MLSSOCCER.com that a bug has been floating around Real’s locker room.
Javier Morales, Demar Philips and Juan Manuel Martinez all missed the final training session yesterday due to the illness. The trio stayed home to rest and hydrate as much as possible in order to be ready for tonight’s game.
"Obviously, we'll see how the night goes and things like that, but they're competitors, and we'll see how they feel tomorrow," Head Coach, Jeff Cassar said.
Captain Kyle Beckerman believes that guys will be ready to go for the game.
"I think they'll be fine," he said. "Those guys will get through it. Chicken noodle soup usually works, and they'll be fine."
