TUKWILA — The Seattle Sounders wrapped up training Friday ahead of their mid-day matchup with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, and coach Brian Schmetzer appeared to be in high spirits after the session. Having gotten over the disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Sporting Kansas City, the matchup Saturday gives the Sounders a chance to put that loss firmly in the rearview mirror.
Helping Schmetzer’s mood were a couple of positive injury updates, as Will Bruin was a full participant in training and is expected to feature on Saturday while Nicolas Lodeiro was even able to take part as a neutral, spraying passes all over the field in some short-sided drills.
