Two games into their biggest winning streak of the season, the Sounders face arguably their toughest task yet in what’s already been a challenging 2017 thus far.
The Sounders are in Ohio to play the Columbus Crew on Wednesday without the services of Jordan Morris or Clint Dempsey, both of whom have been called into duty by the U.S. Men’s National Team. With forward Will Bruin also out due to a dislocated elbow, the Sounders are looking very thin up top.
They are also staring at a number of health issues on their back line, meaning the lineup and formation coach Brian Schmetzer runs out there could require plenty of improvisation.
