TUKWILA, Wash. — With Cristian Roldan and Jordan Morris back in training a little bit ahead of schedule, the Seattle Sounders are finally starting to resemble the team that General Manager Craig Waibel envisioned when he first built the roster.
It’s also a roster that looks quite a bit more like the one that started the season 5-1-1 than the one that has been far more inconsistent while going 5-7-4 ever since.
“We’re trending back to healthy and I’m excited to see where this group goes,” Waibel told reporters on Friday. “Now that Jordan and Cristian are back, coaches are going to have a really nice challenge with how they balance minutes, how they select lineups.
