Alashe will be the midfield boss for Quakes against FC Dallas
Even before the season began, San Jose Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear made it clear that he wanted his roster to be ready for any and all situations they might face. Knowing that international call-ups to the 2016 Copa America Cenentario would play a factor, he constructed a squad that had depth at every position.
And now that depth will be tested, as the Quakes have lost four starters to international duty ahead of a pair of tough intraconference contests -- FC Dallas at Avaya Stadium on Saturday and in Portland against the defending MLS champions on Wednesday.
