Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro has a sprained right midfoot and will miss Wednesday night's crucial CONCACAF Champions League match against Chivas in Guadalajara.
GUADALAJARA, Mex. — A key offensive cog will be missing from the Sounders attack Wednesday night, as Nicolas Lodeiro is sidelined for the decisive CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal match against Chivas with a right midfoot sprain.
The injury, effectively to a tendon between the metatarsal bones in Lodeiro’s foot, is not expected to be long term. Still, Lodeiro did not accompany the team to Guadalajara and likely won’t play this weekend against FC Dallas either.
