Sounders forward Jordan Morris couldn’t have asked for a more triumphant return from injury than he pulled off this past weekend.
Not only did Morris score twice Saturday to lead the Sounders to a 4-1 win over FC Cincinnati, but on Monday, the Mercer Island product was named Major League Soccer Player of the Week. Morris also made it on to the league’s Team of the Week honor list alongside Sounders teammate Nicolas Lodeiro.
It was quite the comeback for Morris, who missed all of 2018 with a torn ACL in his knee after being sidelined almost all of the final three months of the 2017 season and playoffs with a torn hamstring.
