  "textContent": "Road games in Utah have been pretty rough for the Sounders. You’d have to go all the way back to 2012 to find the last time the Sounders won there in regulation and to 2011 to find the last time they’ve won there in the regular season. That’s a really long time.\n\nIf that’s ever going to change, though, this seems as good of a time as any. The Sounders are reasonably well-rested, pretty healthy and off to a solid start. RSL, meanwhile, are coming off a season-opening loss and are pretty short-handed due to injuries to several key starters.\n\nAmong the RSL starters who are out for this game are Diego Luna, Emeka Eneli and DeAndre Yedlin. Although three new signings are expected to be available, none of them have completed a full week of training and will most likely be relegated to bench duty.\n\n# Notes\n\n  * This is the first of five straight league road games for the Sounders.\n  * This is the 44th time the Sounders have played RSL, the fourth most they’ve faced any opponent.\n  * Paul Arriola made his successful return from ACL surgery last week.\n  * Alex Roldan made his 250th career appearances for the Sounders.\n\n\n\n## Enjoying this content?\n\nSign up to get it delivered to your inbox everyday.\n\nSubscribe\n\nEmail sent!
