The international break came at the perfect time for the Seattle Sounders, with two disappointing draws dampening what has otherwise been a great start to the 2021 season. With nearly three weeks between games, it seemingly provided Coach Schmetzer’s side time to recuperate from some nagging injuries.
Unfortunately, it appears those Sounders on the mend will need a bit more time.
While the likes of Jordan Morris and Jordy Delem already figured to be on the shelf until the end of the year — Delem was recently placed on the end-of-season injury list — the prognosis for the return of some other injured Sounders is a bit hazy, at best.
