SJvSEA Starting XI: Head Coach Brian Schmetzer fields strong lineup for match against the Earthquakes -

NOTES:


  • Head Coach Brian Schmetzer makes two changes from the side that faced LAFC last weekend, with Alex Roldan and Nouhou earning starts at outside back in place of Kelvin Leerdam and Brad Smith, respectively.
  • Goalkeeper Stefan Frei is set to make his 250th appearance across all competitions for Sounders FC, a milestone that puts him second behind only Osvaldo Alonso during the MLS era.
  • Joevin Jones (R high ankle sprain), Trey Muse (concussion) and Smith are unavailable for selection this evening. Smith suffered a minor injury in training prior to today's trip to San Jose and is a late scratch from the squad.
