TUKWILA, Wash. – Seattle Sounders center backs Chad Marshall and Zach Scott are back in full training after suffering injuries before the MLS international break, giving the club a full defensive arsenal as U.S. Open Cup play begins next week.
Marshall missed the team’s last three games with an undisclosed injury, while Scott suffered a hamstring injury midway through the team’s 2-0 win over D.C. United on June 1 and had to be taken out of the game.
“Marshall’s fully back,” head coach Sigi Schmid said Friday, “and Zach Scott’s fully back.”
The Sounders will host the Kitsap Pumas of the fourth division Premier Development League on Tuesday at Starfire Sports in Tukwila, the first matchup between the teams since they met in the third round of the 2011 edition of the tournament.
