Seattle Sounders at Toronto FC starting lineup: Head Coach Brian Schmetzer rolls out a 5-4-1 -

NOTES:

  • Per Head Coach Brian Schmetzer, Nicolás Lodeiro has once again been ruled out of today’s 18-man lineup due to his fractured toe. 
  • Román Torres continues to battle his right hamstring strain. He is listed as out this week on the club’s official injury report.
  • Several players are being rotated by Schmetzer tonight from Saturday’s match vs. Columbus, including defenders Kim Kee-hee, Nouhou and Kelvin Leerdam (all available as substitutes tonight), midfielders Osvaldo Alonso (did not travel) and Alex Roldan (available as a sub tonight), in addition to forward Clint Dempsey (did not travel). With three matches in a week, Schmetzer is simply rotating his squad.
