Will Bruin has cleared concussion protocol and is back in the starting lineup Saturday night as expected, along with returning midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro.
The Sounders have yet to score this season, so having those two rejoin the attack against the visiting Montreal Impact should help. A less stable situation is present on the back-line, where Roman Torres will make the start despite playing for Panama against Chile this past week.
The Sounders were going to sit Torres out until Kim Kee-Hee was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right calf muscle strain. No one is sure exactly when he suffered the injury and whether it occured against Chivas or FC Dallas.
