Cristian Roldan was left off tonight’s gameday roster with what the Seattle Sounders dubbed a left athletic pubalgia, or what used to be called a “sports hernia.” Roldan was healthy enough to participate in Thursday’s training session, but will be re-evaluated next week. These types of injuries often result in players missing 1-3 weeks.
Roldan has historically been a sort of ironman for the Sounders, having never missed an extended stretch of games with an injury. This year, he is the co-leader in all-competition minutes played, having logged 2,595.
But Roldan has also been in a bit of a slump recently.
