Sounders forward Jordan Morris is expected to return from U.S. national team duty in time for next Wednesday’s home match against Houston, according to interim coach Brian Schmetzer, while playmaker Nicolas Lodeiro “could be a possibility” depending on his travel schedule back from Uruguay.
It’s a testament to the spirit of resiliency among the ranks that there’s a sense that Seattle is going to be just fine regardless.
Last Sunday’s 2-1 win at Vancouver wasn’t the prettiest win of Schmetzer’s tenure, but it might have been the most impressive, given all the extenuating circumstances.
Lodeiro was out with a yellow-card suspension.
