After leaving the game against the LA Galaxyin the 23rd minute on Saturday, Juan Manuel Maritnez is probable to play this Saturday against the Houston Dynamo. This is great news for RSL after the team had to play without “Burrito” for most of the game against LA due to a right quadriceps strain.
Chris Kamrani from The Salt Lake Tribune watched at practice yesterday as he saw Martinez go through some light training and got an assessment afterward from Head Coach Jeff Cassar.
"We'll see how he got through today," Cassar said. "The MRI came back pretty good, and we're going to keep progressing him. I would say it's probable [versus Houston]."
On the other hand, it does not appear that Joao Plata will not be seen on the pitch come Saturday night. He is nursing a high flexor strain that he received last Wednesday.
