Out for weekend Chu will miss Saturday's clash against the Dynamo as he's expecting the birth of his child, Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer told reporters on Tuesday.
Impact Chu has also picked up a foot injury which will make him questionable for the midweek U.S. Open Cup match, but he is certain to miss out against Houston while with his family. Jordan Morris could replace him on the left wing for the match, though Dylan Teves could be an option as well.

Impact Chu made his 2023 debut in the starting XI and promptly blew past his assist total from his first two seasons combined. The forward exploded for three assists on a night where he and Jordan Morris seemed to be in perfect harmony. Chu will hope to build off this explosive performance and continue earning more time in the first team.

Comes off bench in season finale Chu subbed in for the final 20 minutes or so of the Decision Day match against San Jose and he won two of two tackles in the 2-2 draw.
Impact Chu took a step up in his first full season with the Sounders, recording two assists in 25 MLS appearances (eight starts) along the attacking line. The 22-year-old is still very much a backup option heading into 2023 behind Jordan Morris and Cristian Roldan on the wings, but he should continue getting opportunities to prove himself.

Takes two shots in win Chu took two shots and created a chance in Tuesday's 1-0 victory against FC Dallas. He also made a block and won four of six tackles in the match.
Impact Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer has been experimenting with Seattle's right wing spot recently, as Jimmy Medranda and now Leo Chu have looked solid in a few run-outs while Cristian Roldan moved back into defensive midfield. This will likely only last until Obed Vargas returns from a back injury, but there isn't a definite timetable on his recovery at the moment.

The forward hasn't been a consistent part of the starting XI for the most part in 2022, though he's seen more playing time in recent matches off the bench. Chu currently has two assists and a secondary assist in just 546 minutes played, the type of tally that could see him earn more playing time. Next up is a Saturday clash with Portland.

First assist Chu provided one assist on one chance created during Tuesday's 4-0 rout of Vancouver.
Impact Chu made his fifth start of the campaign and his first since the start of May, and made the most of it. The winger did well to earn an assist with his only chance created and looked dangerous with limited opportunity. Chu isn't likely to become a mainstay in the starting XI, but he is looking like a promising winger for a creative Seattle side.

Takes two shots against Dallas Chu took two shots and won one of one tackles in Saturday's 2-0 defeat against FC Dallas.
Impact Chu was probably Seattle's brightest player in attack on Saturday, but now that the CONCACAF Champions League is over, he will likely become more of a bit-part backup player in MLS.
