Seattle Sounders Head Coach Brian Schmetzer addressed the injury status of captain Nicolás Lodeiro and goalkeeper Stefan Frei on Friday.
“Nico Lodeiro had arthroscopic surgery [on Thursday] to deal with his lingering inflammation in his knee joint,” said Schmetzer. “It was a successful surgery. Everything went well. We are going to make a press announcement with further details later this afternoon.”
Lodeiro missed the first two matches of this season while dealing with a left quad strain. He then returned in Week 3 against the LA Galaxy, logging 24 minutes off the bench, before being shut down due to the knee pain for which he had surgery.
