Just when it appeared the Sounders were ready to put out a full back line once again, we get word that veteran defender Roman Torres will miss Saturday’s game at Yankee Stadium in order to help him rest a hamstring that’s plagued him much of the season.
Torres is coming off a span where he played three matches in eight days for both the Sounders and the Panamanian national squad. He could have played Saturday against New York City FC, but coach Brian Schmetzer opted to rest the center back and use him in Wednesday’s upcoming home match versus Orlando.
