There are injuries abound for Real Salt Lake this week, some major and some minor. Javier Morales (groin) and Fabian Espindola (hamstring) only participated in about half of Tuesday’s practice before heading out for some treatment. Carey Talley (quad) and Ian Joy (ankle) didn’t participate at all, whereas Alex Nimo (unknown) and Nathan Sturgis (hamstring) were limited to just jogging around the field.
A blatantly blown offside call in a 2-2 tie with the Galaxy last Saturday that cost Real Salt Lake a goal triggered a riposte from Coach Jason Kreis regarding officiating decisions that had gone against his team...

"A crazy year in MLS has led to some crazy weeks for YORP, last week included. I had a horrible week, getting just one right. Of course, I did get that one exactly right. That counts for something doesn't it?..."
"After three successive weeks of game-changing decisions, it's time we vent a little bit and put things right," said Kreis on Monday afternoon. "I have a team doing their best to reward fans through a frustrating time and a frustrating few years. I feel the players are doing what they need to, the coaching staff is doing what they do, but being wronged by critical referee decisions is unacceptable."
