TUKWILA — The Seattle Sounders depth will be tested in Saturday’s game against Sporting KC with six players absent due to international duty, but it looks like that won’t be tested quite as much as originally feared. After being forced out of last week’s game with what the team called a “bruised rib”, Jackson Ragen was a full participant in Tuesday’s training session.
The injury seems to have happened around the 22nd minute when Stefan Frei came off his line to claim a free kick and accidentally kneed Ragen in the chest. Ragen was able to stay in the match, but was eventually pulled in the 55th minute when the discomfort became too intense to continue.
