Kamil Piatkowski will remain on loan and away from Red Bull Salzburg, this time with La Liga relegation contenders Granada. The Polish defender has been on loan in Belgium with Genk for the last six months, now moving and upgrading to Spain's top division.

Piatkowski, 23 years-old, joined Salzburg in the 2021/22 season and has made 30 total appearances for the club. His first season was where he saw the most action with 16 total appearances across all competitions. Despite early success, he found himself in a losing effort for a starting spot, with current head coach Gerhard Struber seeing it best to send him away from the club.

Granada picks up a dependable player who made 17 appearances for Genk since joining the club. Considering the club's likelihood of relegation, Piatkowski will more than likely get opportunities to show his worth and perhaps keep the Spanish club afloat in La Liga.

Currently Salzburg is on their winter break, returning to league in November for the Championship Round of the competition. The team sits two points ahead of Sturm Graz in first place as they look to win their 11th consecutive league title.

Injury Update: Marcucci and Vanzeir Shine; Morgan Still Recovering

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We don't make risks for him," said Schwarz when asked if Lewis would feature in the team's last preseason game. "He's only in team training since two days.

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
