Posted: 2:39 PM- Argentina's Edgar Espindola and Matias Mantilla have received their work visas and signed contracts with Real Salt Lake, a team spokesman said today.
Countryman Javier Morales is expected to do the same in time to also be eligible to play against the Chicago Fire on Saturday.
All three players have been practicing on trial with RSL since the start of the month, as major elements of the team's ongoing rebuilding effort. Coach Jason Kreis released defender Danny Torres and shuffled other parts of the 28-man roster to make room for them.
Espindola is a striker and Mantilla a defender, while Morales plays in the midfield. All of them worked out primarily with the second team during practice Wednesday, and Kreis declined to say whether any of them will make their debuts with RSL against the Fire at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
