TUKWILA, Wash. – The Seattle Sounders were back at training on a beautiful Thursday afternoon at Starfire Spots after a midweek break on Wednesday, but forward Nelson Valdez was spotted jogging around the field with trainers while the rest of the squad participated in a full 11 v. 11 scrimmage.
Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid said Valdez picked up the unspecified injury during training earlier this week. It's unclear if Valdez will play when the Sounders take on the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston on Sunday (1 p.m. PT; ESPN/KIRO 97.3 FM/EL Rey 1360AM).
