Sounders left back Joevin Jones won’t face the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday night as his team seeks a critical three points to try to move back atop the Western Conference standings.
Jones returned to the squad from Trinidad and Tobago this week after he’d skipped out early without permission a few weeks back to prepare for World Cup qualifying action. Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer had said this week that Jones would be disciplined internally and would not comment further.
Well, the fact that Jones is sitting Sunday and not even listed as a substitute would seem to suggest punitive action.
