It is crunch time in MLS. The playoffs are here. And for the Seattle Sounders, that means that an injury crisis is just around the corner.
And yes, this year, like seemingly every other year, the Sounders are crocked.
In the first leg of their Western Conference semi-final against the Portland Timbers, the Sounders lost two key players to injury: Chad Marshall, who has since undergone surgery for a meniscus injury in his knee, and Cristian Roldan, the midfielder being officially classed as ‘day-to-day’ but is being spoken about as if he will not be available for selection in the second leg.
