Real Salt LakeBack in starting XI Saturday
Quinton (groin) has been included in the starting lineup Saturday versus Los Angeles FC.
Analysis: Quinton is ready to play following a short injury period, and his return is quite timely for a squad that is now missing Sam Junqua (concussion) and Justen Glad (groin). The 26-year-old made four successive MLS starts before getting hurt, averaging 6.3 clearances per contest but failing to earn a clean sheet over that span.
Doubtful with adductor discomfort
Quinton is a late decision heading into the MLS week 23 clash against Colorado Rapids after sustaining an adductor injury, the league announced Friday.
Analysis: Quinton had been a regular starter until he stayed on the bench in an Aug. 22 meeting with Orlando, after which he apparently got hurt. He could bounce back into a starting spot given Lukas Engel's (leg) possible absence, but if both defenders are forced to miss time, there will be a chance for Sam Junqua to join Juan Jose Arias in the back line.
Starting against Galaxy
Quinton (calf) is back as a starter in Sunday's visit to Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Quinton will feature as part of a back three in his return to action following a two-week absence due to his calf issue. The defender will look to stay active for the rest of the season after tallying at least 40 passes in each of his last three games and racking up 32 clearances plus one assist over his five league starts in 2026. DeAndre Yedlin will be among the substitutes with Quinton back in the initial lineup.
Late call for Wednesday
Quinton is listed as questionable for Wednesday's match against Miami due to his calf injury, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Quinton was a late scratch last week and will now have to prove himself to play Wednesday, listed as questionable. This should lead to a late fitness test, deciding whether he takes the field or not. He has been a regular starter when fit, so they will hope he is an option, likely to return to his starting role in the defense if deemed fit.
