NYCFC injury list remains the same for the Wednesday night showdown at Rio Tinto Stadium in Utah.
Ronald Matarrita and Khiry Shelton both miss the game through injury, while Yangel Herrera is away with Venezuela U20s.
The boys in blue travel to Salt Lake City looking to beat RSL for the first time in club history after going down to a 3-2 defeat in 2016.
John Stertzer will be hoping to make a first appearance against his former team with another road game against Orlando City coming up on Sunday.
Our hosts will be without four players representing US U20s at the U20 World Cup: Danny Acosta, Justen Glad, Brooks Lennon and Sebastian Saucedo.
Alex Ring is one yellow card away from suspension.
