Lineup news

• Connor Sparrow is likely in line for his first RSL start after having impressed repeatedly for Real Monarchs. He’s good at saving those penalties, too. You know. Just in case.
• The usual suspects are out: Jordan Allen, Shawn Barry, Tony Beltran, Alex Horwath, Luke Mulholland, and Demar Phillips.
• Taylor Peay is probably out, though I haven’t had that confirmed — but expect him to be in the stands somewhere, or perhaps in a box.
• Joao Plata is questionable with some sort of injury — back? upper body? I don’t know.
• At least one Real Monarchs player is likely to have come up,
