Crew defender Valenzuela’s early substitution was ‘more precautionary’

Columbus Crew SC had a lot of reasons to be proud when the team flew back to Columbus from Seattle on Saturday night. A 1-1 draw against the Sounders, the defending MLS Cup champions, thanks to a well-worked goal and helped the team maintain an unbeaten record. But there is one concern for the Crew.

Their worry for the Black & Gold after the second game of the year comes from Milton Valenzuela, who only played 45 minutes after suffering a knock to his knee, the same knee he injured last preseason to miss all of 2019.
