TUKWILA, Wash. — With a little bit of luck, the Seattle Sounders should be as close to full strength for Saturday’s match against Charlotte FC as they’ve been since the start of the season.
The latest player to rejoin the Sounders is Obed Vargas, who is already back in town after the United States was eliminated from the U-20 World Cup on Saturday. The 17-year-old midfielder played in all five matches and logged 245 minutes while making three starts, including the 2-0 loss to Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Vargas was given a “pro day” on Tuesday but is expected to resume full training on Wednesday and will be available to play on the weekend.
