At least two Seattle Sounders will be called up during the upcoming FIFA window for international friendlies. Nicolas Lodeiro has been named to Uruguay’s roster for a pair of friendlies on Nov. 10 and 14, while Panama has called in Roman Torres for friendlies Nov. 9 and 14.
While probably not ideal, this shouldn’t be a huge deal even if the Sounders advance to the Western Conference finals, as the first leg isn’t scheduled until Nov. 21. That would give Torres, Lodeiro and anyone else who’s likely to be called up at least week to get ready.
