Zlatan Ibrahimovc, three LA Galaxy DPs won't face Seattle Sounders

The LA Galaxy will be without star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and all three of their designated players when they travel to face the Seattle Sounders on Saturday.

Jonathan dos Santos, Giovani dos Santos and Romain Alessandrini are all nursing injuries, while LA will not risk Ibrahimovic when the teams meet on the artificial turf at CenturyLink Field (4 p.m. ET, ESPN2).

Ibrahimovic has scored 15 goals in 16 starts for the Galaxy since overcoming the major knee injury he suffered last year that led to his departure from Manchester United.

But the only appearance he has made on artificial turf in MLS came in a 20-minute stint as a substitute in Portland on June 2.
