TUKWILA, Wash. — The Seattle Sounders will be as close to full strength as they’ve been in at least a month when they take the field against Minnesota United on Saturday. That doesn’t necessarily mean Brian Schmetzer will be able to field his first-choice starting XI, however.
Presumed starters Xavier Arreaga, Cristian Roldan, Jordan Morris and Nouhou will have, at most, one day of training with the team after rejoining the group from international duty. Of those four, Arreaga and Roldan are the most likely to be able to jump into the starting lineup as neither played while they were away with Ecuador and the United States, respectively.
