Rimando, Glad undergo meniscus successful surgeries, slated for Jan. camp

November 05, 2015

Nick Rimando and Justen Glad both had successful meniscus surgeries this offseason, Real Salt Lake announced today.

Rimando, who has been on a demanding schedule of matches international and domestic for several years now, had knee-related concerns through 2015, missing the final game of the season with a knee issue.

It's difficult to know exactly when that started or when the issue required surgery, but as early as mid-April, Rimando was reported to be battling knee soreness. That came after a national team match against Mexico on April 15. When those issues came to a head and required surgery is a bit of an unknown, however.

In a press release, RSL general manager Craig Waibel said he anticipates both will be healed in time for the pre-season campaign, which is anticipated to start in January.

"It's great that Nick and Justen were able to have these surgeries early in the off-season and they will be fully recovered in time for preseason," Waibel said. "We look forward to their contributions next season."
