There was some trepidation when Nicolas Lodeiro joined the Seattle Sounders. Could a key player for one of the world’s best national teams maintain his role with that nation while playing in MLS? That answer is clearly a yes.
Lodeiro is being called up for the two October FIFA International dates when he and Uruguay will face Venezuela and Colombia.
La Celeste are currently first in CONMEBOL qualifying after they lost to Argentina on Sept. 1 (Nico started playing 60’) and trounced Paraguay (Lodeiro DNP) a few days later.
Lodeiro will likely miss the Seattle Sounders’ home game against Houston Dynamo on Oct.
