TUKWILA, Wash. — On Wednesday, Seattle Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer said it was “a possibility” that midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro is available for Wednesday Oct. 12’s home game against the Houston Dynamo (7:30 p.m. PT; JOEtv, KIRO Radio 97.3FM, El Rey 1360AM).
On Thursday, General Manager and President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey casted a little more doubt on that chance.
Lodeiro is competing with Uruguay in two CONMEBOL 2016 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. The first is on Thursday in Uruguay against Venezuela. The second is on Tuesday Oct. 11 — the day before the Houston match — against Colombia in Barranquilla.
