Following his arrest and suspension for DUI, Marco Pappa was compliant in following the Major League Soccer’s Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program.
Having completed the program, Sounders General Manager Garth Lagerwey reinstated Pappa. Lagerwey stated that Pappa has sufficiently taken the steps need to return to MLS play and that there are no pending legal proceedings.
In 16 games played, he has 6 assist and 2 goals. Now the question is, with the additions of internationals such as Andreas Ivanschitz and Erik Friberg, how will Coach Sigi Schmid use the now swelled ranks of the mid field?
