Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer indicates Román Torres may play Sunday vs. Timbers

Seattle Sounders interim head coach Brian Schmetzer indicated on Friday that defender Román Torres may play on Sunday vs. the Portland Timbers (2 p.m. PT; ESPN, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM).

“This is a good game for him to go in," Schmetzer said. "[Timbers forward Fanendo] Adi’s a big kid. He’s caused us some problems in past games."

Torres was activated on Tuesday after spending nearly a year recovering from a torn ACL he suffered vs. the San Jose Earthquakes last year. On Wednesday, Torres expressed his excitement to be healthy again and was on the 18-man roster in Seattle's 1-1 draw at Houston.
