Breaks goal drought
Hezarkhani scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing twice inaccurately during Saturday's 3-0 win over New England.
Analysis: Hezarkhani opened the scoring the 2nd minute setting the tone for RSL. The goal was the first since March for the attacker as he's combined for three shots and three chances created over his last three appearances.
On bench Saturday
Herzakhani (toe) is on the bench in Saturday's visit to St. Louis.
Analysis: Herzakhani has served as a rotational attacking asset during his second MLS campaign, but he had been questionable heading into this game with a slight issue. Even though his two goals of the current season came during the initial three weeks, he should at least see minutes going forward and could get chances to end his scoreless streak if he replaces Lineker Rodrigues or Sergi Solans at some point. Herzakhani also took a few set pieces earlier in the season, but he's unlikely to assume those responsibilities while Diego Luna is on the pitch.
Misses friendly
Hezarkhani is out for Wednesday's friendly against Burnley due to a toe injury, according to his club.
Analysis: Hezarkhani is not with his team as they prepare to resume play in MLS action, as the forward misses out on a friendly with a toe injury. Unfortunately, little is known about his status, leaving him questionable for their restart match on July 22. He has started in eight of his 13 appearances, so his absence could force some change.
