With Harry Shipp now added to the list of injured Sounders and Clint Dempsey and Kelvin Leerdam suspended, the team will need its younger players to step up Sunday in a match at Sporting Kansas City
Not long before the latest Sounders injury further depleted an already shorthanded lineup, goalkeeper Stefan Frei reflected on taking advantage of opportunities.
Frei was talking about young players making the most of extra minutes being given, something that’s yet to fully happen for a winless team that could use a boost. On Sunday, when the Sounders play a road game against a first-place Sporting Kansas City side, the youth will be expected to step in again.
