Nicolás Lodeiro has ‘no lingering knee’ issues, Sounders insist
Max Aquino / Sounder at HeartOne of the biggest questions surrounding the Seattle Sounders this offseason was the health of Nicolás Lodeiro. The midfielder was limited to just four starts in 2021 and played fewer than 500 minutes after undergoing two separate arthroscopic surgeries to repair his injured right knee.
Although Lodeiro has previously dealt with knee injuries, this was by far the most time he’s missed. Considering he’ll be turning 33 this year, there are open questions about how much of a lingering issue this might be.
