Six games in 23 days would be tough for any Major League Soccer team at the best of times.
But for the Sounders, still grappling with injuries and struggling to find a consistent attack, the three-plus week journey that begins Saturday in Chicago could prove to be a definitive point in their season. The Sounders learned Thursday they’ll be without suspended right back Jordy Delem for the game against a Fire squad unbeaten at home this season.
Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said the time for greater urgency is fast approaching.
“We’ll need all hands on deck,” he said.
