TUKWILA — Héber suffered a left hamstring strain during Wednesday’s training session and has been ruled out for Saturday’s match against FC Cincinnati, according to Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer. Héber is expected to miss at least 2-4 weeks.
“It is a bummer,” Schmetzer said on Thursday. “I feel bad for Héber because he was playing very, very well but that’s why you have to have a deep roster. We’ll need everyone over the course of the year and this is just one of those moments.”
The good news is that Héber’s injury comes just as Raúl Ruidíaz is returning from his own hamstring injury.
