Jordan Morris will be available for selection against Charlotte FC, Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer confirmed on Thursday. Morris had missed the Sounders’ previous two games with an adductor injury he suffered against the New York Red Bulls on May 27 immediately after scoring his ninth goal of the season. The original diagnosis was that he’d miss 2-3 weeks, which means his return comes slightly ahead of schedule.
Morris’ injury only exasperated the Sounders’ offensive struggles. In addition to failing to score in the roughly 250 minutes since Morris went out, the Sounders have only scored six goals in their past 10 games and have failed to score more than one goal in any of those matches.
