Stefan Frei - Out with illness Frei missed Wednesday's defeat against Nashville SC while in the health and safety protocols.
Xavier Arreaga - Available as expected Arreaga (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Nashville.
Impact Arreaga has been out for two matches with a mild hamstring injury and has evidently worked his way back to some form of match-fitness. The defender is replaced once more by Yeimer Gomez, though when Arreaga is fully fit he will likely move back into the starting XI.

Xavier Arreaga - Should be available for mid-week Arreaga (hamstring) is expected to be available for selection in Wednesday's clash against Nashville SC, according to SB Nation's Jeremiah Oshan.
Impact Arreaga has missed the Sounders' last four games with a hamstring injury he suffered against LAFC in mid-June, but he is expected to be able to return against Nashville. Abdoulaye Cissoko could line up alongside Yeimar Gomez in central defense if Arreaga's not quite fit enough to start yet, as Jackson Ragen will be suspended for the match.

Raul Ruidiaz - Out against Nashville Ruidiaz is set to undergo an MRI this week and will not be traveling with the squad for Wednesday's clash against Nashville SC, Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation reported Monday.
Impact Ruidiaz made his return for the Sounders Saturday after missing four games with a hamstring injury he suffered in mid-June, but it seems he has re-aggravated the injury and will have to be reevaluated. He has already been ruled out for Wednesday's match and will be a doubt for next weekend's Chicago game as well.

Seattle Sounders FC vs. Portland Timbers
JULY 10, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Stefan Frei - Concedes three in loss Frei made five saves but conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Portland.
Impact Frei had a strong match making five saves, however, it was not enough to stop the aggressive Portland offense. In his past two matches, Frei made eight saves but conceded five to put his total goals against at 18. With not much help from the Seattle squad, Frei has conceded multiple goals and is likely to keep the trend going without an immediate solution to Seattle's defense.

Nicolas Lodeiro - Four chances created in loss Lodeiro recorded 13 crosses and created four chances during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Portland.
Impact Lodeiro was a reliable playmaker for the Seattle squad creating several opportunities and delivering 13 crosses. In the past seven matches, Lodeiro has created 14 chances making him a strong option in the midfield. With his success creating opportunities for the Seattle squad, it is likely he will remain a large part of the starting XI moving forward.

Cristian Roldan - Crosses six in loss Roldan (illness) had three shots (one on target), two chances created and six crosses in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Portland.
Impact Roldan was back in the XI Saturday in his usual spot after missing one match, likely with COVID-19. His numbers don't stand out on the right wing with three goals and four assists in 16 appearances, but he's a constant threat and gets chances every match.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Raul Ruidiaz - Limited in return Ruidiaz (hamstring) had three shots (zero on target) and two fouls drawn in 81 minutes of Saturday's loss against Portland.
Impact Ruidiaz was back in the squad Saturday, but that didn't change Seattle's fortunes as he couldn't get anything going. Ruidiaz missed the prior four matches with a hamstring injury and on a short week, there's a chance Will Bruin or Fredy Montero get the start Wednesday at Nashville.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will Bruin - Returns off bench Bruin (illness) played nine minutes off the bench in Saturday's match against Portland.
Impact Bruin was back in the squad Saturday in his usual role off the bench. He's received just one start since early May and that's not expected to change while Raul Ruidiaz is healthy. Even then, Fredy Montero is still there to steal minutes from Bruin.
JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jackson Ragen - Sent off against Portland Ragen was sent off during Saturday's clash with Portland.
Impact Ragen was sent off during Saturday's match right at the start of the second half. The defender is a major loss for Seattle, where he has started the last five matches in a row and 12 on the season. Ragen's suspension may necessitate a change of formation for Seattle.

Cristian Roldan - In health and safety protocols Roldan (illness) is listed as questionable in Seattle's injury report for Saturday's clash against the Timbers.
Impact Roldan missed last weekend's win over Toronto FC while in the health and safety protocols, and he is facing a fitness test to be able to return on Saturday. Dylan Teves replaced him on the right wing last weekend and could do so again if necessary versus Portland.

Will Bruin - Back in training Bruin (illness) returned to training Wednesday, SB Nation's Jeremiah Oshan reports.
Impact Bruin has missed a couple of games in a row but both he and Raul Ruidiaz were able to return Wednesday. With a deeper depth chart at forward, Bruin isn't likely to take on a big role over Ruidiaz or Freddy Montero.

Xavier Arreaga - Still limited Arreaga (hamstring) was spotted training separately during Wednesday's session, according to Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation.
Impact Arreaga has missed three games due to injury and is unlikely to make it back by Saturday's match against Portland without making tremendous progress. Jackson Ragen and Yeimar Gomez should keep their places at center-back until Arreaga is able to play.
JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Raul Ruidiaz - Back in training Ruidiaz (hamstring) was spotted training seemingly without issue during Wednesday's session, according to Jeremiah Oshan of SB Nation.
Impact Ruidiaz appears on track to return in the derby against Portland after missing four games during the international break and due to a pulled hamstring. His return would be important as he's already scored five times in just eight appearances this season and offers a further upgrade over veteran Freddy Montero at striker.

Stefan Cleveland - Brilliant in win Cleveland recorded six saves in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Toronto FC.
Impact Cleveland was absolutely heroic during Saturday's win, shutting down Toronto at every turn. The keeper was in brilliant form throughout and looked excellent stepping in for a rare start. Despite this excellence it's likely that Cleveland finds himself back on the bench against Portland next time out.
