TUKWILA, Wash. — With five players away on international duty for the Seattle Sounders’ international friendly against Mexico’s Club Necaxa on Saturday (7 p.m. PT; JOEtv, ROOT Sports outside Seattle, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM | TICKETS) there will be a huge opportunity for some of the Rave Green’s younger players to make an impression.
After a dazzling preseason, 2017 Homegrown signee Henry Wingo has come on as a substitute in each of the Sounders’ first three regular-season matches. Wingo, 21, has continued to improve since joining the first team from the University of Washington and has proved a late-game asset with his pace and quality on the ball.
