TUKWILA, Wash. – The Seattle Sounders hit the practice field at Starfire Sports in Tukwila on Wednesday, putting in one last shift before the team embarks on a three-game East Coast road swing that starts this Saturday against the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium (4:30 p.m. PT; JOEtv, Univision-Seattle, ROOT Sports; KIRO 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM).
Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid addressed a couple of glaring health concerns following the Wednesday training session, the first being the status of starting center back Chad Marshall, who was held out of Seattle’s 1-0 loss to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday with a hamstring injury.
