LINEUP: Nicolas Lodeiro’s injury has forced Brian Schmetzer to shuffle his lineup for today’s match against D.C. United. Perhaps the most notable change is the return of Victor Rodriguez to the starting lineup for the first time since July 6. He slots into Lodeiro’s normal No. 10 spot. Other changes include Gustav Svensson dropping to centerback to replace the suspended Xavier Arreaga, Cristian Roldan moving to defensive midfield and Harry Shipp entering the starting lineup as a right midfielder.
The Seattle Sounders hit the road for two games and their first stop is at Audi Field.
