“We’re good with all of that, this time of the year here feels like a bonus, I would say do,” said Loons head coach Eric Ramsay about what they could see Saturday night. “We’re a team that is pretty well equipped to play in a way that suits conditions like that.”

On the field, in rain, snow, or shine, United will host Real Salt Lake, a team the Loons played four times last season and played to a draw in all four matches.

On Friday, Ramsay also addressed the knee injury to midfielder Hassani Dotson, “he had surgery, and we’re letting the dust settle a little bit before we determine the likely outcome there.”

Loons defender Michael Boxall returned to practice with the team Friday after a brief absence for international play with New Zealand. Boxall’s availability to play Saturday is TBD.

The Loons and Real Salt Lake are scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night at Allianz Field.
