The Seattle Sounders head back on the road to play Minnesota United on Sunday. Ashle Paige of Northland Soccer Journal filled us in:
Notable injuries
Michael Boxall remains out.
Team form
Rough to say the least. Minnesota has given up nine goals in the last two matches, while only scoring once. Michael Boxall's absence at centre-back has undoubtedly hurt the team and has been a strain on the defense.
Key players
Anthony Markanich: Although he's deployed as a left centerback, Markanich continus to be a constant danger, especially on set pieces.
Joaquín Pereyra: The midfield maestro has hurt the Sounders on numerous occassions.
One thing opposing fans should know
The club your seeing now won't be the same one you see at the end of the season. Since February, the club has hired almost an entirely new coaching staff along with quite a few new players. Additionally, there has been information previously come that the ICE raids prevented the Loons from completing deals with a few players.
Projected lineup
3-4-3: Callendar; Markanich, Duggan, Diaz; Padelford, Trapp, Triantis, Hlongwane; Chancalay, Yeboah, Pereyra.
