TUKWILA, Wash. – Seattle Sounders forward Nelson Valdez is still questionable for the team’s road matchup against the Houston Dynamo this weekend, and he may not travel with the team to Houston on Friday at all as he continues to recover from injury.
Valdez was hobbled this week with a leg injury sustained in training, and head coach Sigi Schmid said it’s unlikely the Paraguayan international will start when the two teams clash at BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday (1 p.m. PT; ESPN/KIRO 97.3 FM/El Rey 1360AM), if he plays at all.
“He’s coming along,” Schmid said.
