TUKWILA, Wash. — Seattle Sounders midfielder Andreas Ivanschitz will be unavailable for the team’s road match against FC Dallas on Sunday, according to interim head coach Brian Schmetzer.
The 32-year-old Austrian exited in the 16th minute of Seattle’s scoreless draw against the Houston Dynamo on Wednesday night. An MRI revealed a right knee sprain and he is doubtful for the Sounders’ regular-season finale against Real Salt Lake on Oct. 23 as well.
An encouraging sign, though, is that Alvaro Fernandez was back training at full strength on Thursday.
