In what’s been a recurring theme for the Sounders all season, midfielder Gustav Svensson will again be replacing a defender Friday night as they take on the Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place Stadium. This isn’t much of a surprise, as we told you yesterday that Roman Torres would miss this game and possibly the next one as well.
As for Svensson, he’s started four games at right and center back and replaced the injured Torres early last week in the team’s fifth match.
Of course, the big thing we’re watching is the Sounders facing forward Fredy Montero for the first time.
