TUKWILA — Fresh off a second straight road win — their first winning streak away from home since 2021 — Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer is faced with the kind of dilemma all coaches want. He’s got too many players who have shown they deserve to start.
At the top of that list are veteran strikers Raúl Ruidíaz and Héber. To get either of them onto the field, Schmetzer will have to move at least one of Léo Chú or Jordan Morris — who have combined for six goals and five assists over the past two games — out of the positions where they’ve been excelling.
