TUKWILA — A day after Alex Roldán and Reed Baker-Whiting rejoined training, fellow internationals Xavier Arreaga, Raúl Ruidíaz and Obed Vargas were also back. Nouhou, the final Sounder away on international duty last weekend, was expected to be back in Seattle later on Thursday.
The Sounders got a bit of added good news from Roldán’s MRI, which he said showed only “very minimal” damage. He had been pulled out at halftime of El Salvador’s match with the United States on Monday with what was deemed tightness in his thigh muscle.
“It had been a long year in the area I was feeling it and I didn’t want to risk something super long-term,” Roldán said following Thursday’s training session, in which he was a full participant.
