Osvaldo Alonso has a slight knee sprain
Everyone in Seattle more than likely held their collective breaths when they all saw Colorado Rapids left back Marc Burch clatter clumsily into Osvaldo Alonso. You probably held your breath a little longer seeing Ozzie grab his knee.
Alonso tried to soldier on but was subbed out a few minutes later. After getting back to Seattle and having an MRI done, head coach Brian Schmetzer confirmed earlier reports that Alonso had a slight knee sprain when he spoke with the media on Wednesday.
“He’s had an MRI, it’s a slight knee sprain, I expect him to play. He’s waited for this for a long time. I don’t think much could keep him from playing in that game.”
