TUKWILA — Knowing they’ll need wins in their final two games to even have a chance to extend their MLS record 13-season playoff streak, the Seattle Sounders face the very likely prospect of playing Sunday’s game against Sporting KC without leading scorer Raúl Ruidíaz.
The striker was forced out of Perú’s game against El Salvador on Tuesday after suffering an injury around the 10th minute and was seen in tears on the sideline.
Although the injury doesn’t appear to be as serious as initially feared, Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer didn’t sound very optimistic about Ruidíaz playing on Sunday.
