Seattle Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer on Tuesday said that midfielder Cristian Roldan suffered a hip flexor strain against the Portland Timbers on Sunday at Providence Park in the first leg of the Western Conference Semifinals. Schmetzer called Roldan’s status a game-time decision for Leg 2 on Thursday at CenturyLink Field (7:30 p.m. PT; FS1, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM | TICKETS).
“We’ll see if that kid can make it, he’s a pretty strong mentally kid,” said Schmetzer of Roldan.
Roldan exited Leg 1 in the 31st minute for Waylon Francis.
