On bench Saturday
Booth (hamstring) is on the bench in Saturday's game versus Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Booth had been sidelined since mid-August but ultimately regained fitness and could make an appearance against the Union. The wide player had featured as a wing-back during some stretches of the season and may once again be an option for that role, contending with Dominik Marczuk for starts in the final stages of the campaign. Booth has scored one goal while generating four shots, four chances created and 13 tackles over 433 minutes of league play in 2026.
Expected to be available
Booth (hamstring) should be available for Saturday's MLS clash against Philadelphia Union after a lengthy injury absence, with the midfielder no longer listed on Real Salt Lake's latest injury report.
Analysis: Booth appears to be closing in on a return to competitive action after an extended spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury sustained against Minnesota United. His omission from the latest injury report suggests he has recovered sufficiently to be considered for selection against Philadelphia. The midfielder had previously been covering at right wing-back for Zavier Gozo (hip), with Dominik Marczuk also emerging as an alternative during his absence. However, given his lengthy layoff, Booth could initially be eased back into action off the bench rather than immediately reclaiming a starting role.
Subs off injured against Minnesota
Booth was forced to leave Saturday's 1-1 draw against Minnesota United with a thigh issue.
Analysis: Booth has been filling in for Zavier Gozo (hip) at right wing-back, so losing him for future matches adds serious concern for the club in that role. The fact that Booth got hurt in a non-contact play suggests he's dealing with a significant blow and could miss at least the next couple of weeks. Dominik Marczuk came off the bench Saturday and might be the next candidate to play on the right flank if both Gozo and Booth stay out in the short term.
Hammers home first MLS goal
Booth scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing twice inaccurately and creating a chance during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Minnesota.
Analysis: Booth opened the scoring in the 22nd minute while tying for the team-high in chances created. The goal was the first in Booth's career as the 22-year-old has combined for three shots, two chances created and two crosses over his last three appearances.
