Savarino, Rubin headline RSL call-ups

Savarino, Rubin and Luna called up, will likely miss St. Louis match

March 17, 2023

Update 03/21/23:

The club announced that Braian Ojeda would be joining the Paraguayan national team for a friendly against Chile on March 27th. This is the teams first outing since March 29th, 2022.

It also appears, at least to the Idioma Futve Twitter account, that Jefferson Savarino will be absent for the Venezuela's national team matches against Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan for "personal reasons." There is no word as to whether or not this will effect his availability for this weekends match against St Louis City.

It feels like it’s been an impossibly long time since we’ve had to look at the Real Salt Lake roster for an upcoming MLS match and see 4 players that will be missing on international duty. While it’s nice to see players back on national teams, it may make for a difficult Saturday evening against a St Louis side that is coming off of three wins in a row.

Here’s who will be out on international duty:

Rubio Rubin - Guatemala

Rubio Rubin joins the Guatemalan men's national team for their CONCACAF Nations League matches against Belize on March 24th and French Guiana on the 27th.Last June, Rubio made his fourth appearance for the Guatemalan national team and scored both goals in a 2-0 win over the Dominican Republic.
