TUKWILA, Wash. — There were some familiar sights at Seattle Sounders training on Wednesday. Nicolás Lodeiro was patrolling the midfield, sliding around and spraying passes. Many of those passes were aimed at Raúl Ruidíaz, who had a couple nice finishes.
The two Designated Players have now been in full training together all week and will likely be available for selection when the Sounders visit Minnesota United on Saturday.
Neither has played in over a month. Lodeiro’s last appearance was as a halftime substitute in the regular-season opener on Feb. 27, while Ruidíaz hasn’t played since coming out at halftime of the 5-0 win over FC Motagua on Feb.
