TUKWILA, Wash. — A midweek game meant the Seattle Sounders were back at Starfire Monday morning to prepare for a home game versus Orlando City SC on shorter than normal rest. While the fixture congestion will test the Sounders’ depth and fitness, coach Brian Schmetzer wasn’t overly concerned about the short rest, at least as it pertains to the game on Wednesday.
“It’s four days; quick is Wednesday [to] Saturday, this one’s fine,” Schmetzer said.
The Sounders will leave on Thursday to prepare for the game against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
