Sounders center back Roman Torres will be available for Wednesday’s match against Houston because of a scheduling snafu.
When Panama and Mexico originally planned Tuesday’s friendly back in April, you see, they had no idea that they’d be drawn to play each other again one month later in World Cup qualifying. Not wanting to give El Tri a sneak preview of his tactics ahead of that much more important game, Panama coach Hernan Dario Gomez left most of his regular starters at home with their club teams.
Seattle playmaker Nicolas Lodeiro is also likely to start against the Dynamo, by virtue of the one-game yellow card suspension he picked up with Uruguay last week that kept him out of Tuesday’s key qualifier in Colombia.
