The Sounders have had some unfortunate luck in the early stages of this season. Nicolas Lodeiro and Raúl Ruidíaz have both missed significant time this season, but they both played a half against Minnesota United with eyes on starting tonight against NYCFC. The only exception to this is that Yeimar Gomez Andrade is going to miss out on the first leg (no pun intended) because of a sprained ankle.
