Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris has been sent back to Seattle by the U.S. national team as he continues to deal with a strained hamstring, forcing him out of the USMNT’s two upcoming CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying matches and putting him in question for the Sounders’ postseason push.
Morris suffered the injury during the first half of the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals against FC Dallas on Sunday, just hours after he was named to head coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s 23-man roster for the two Hexagonal matches. Morris watched from the bench as the Sounders ultimately clinched the series before he left Monday to join the USMNT ahead of a huge matchup against Mexico on Friday at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
