TUKWILA – For the first time since the opening half of the Sounders FC season, healthy first-choice players outnumbered the unavailable at training Saturday.
And that included Victor Rodriguez, the heralded left winger who’s been out since July 6 with a hamstring injury.
“We are complete,” Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said after the session at Starfire Sports.
The return of players like Rodriguez is good timing as the Sounders head into the final five matches of the season, beginning with three in the upcoming eight days. Seattle hosts the New York Red Bulls on Sunday and FC Dallas on Wednesday at CenturyLink Field, then travels to play D.
