Stefan Frei - Concedes goal against LAFC Frei made six saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against LAFC.

Impact Frei played well for much of Saturday's game but he was eventually beaten by a Cristian Arango header as his side split the points with the current league leaders. He could have an easier time next weekend against bottom-of-the-Western Conference Sporting KC, which have scored just 14 goals in 16 matches this season.

Xavier Arreaga - Comes off injured against LAFC Arreaga was subbed out of Saturday's draw against LAFC in the 74th minute after suffering an apparent hamstring injury. He made a block and three clearances in the match before bei...

Impact Arreaga's injury looks like it could potentially be serious, but there is no update from him or the club as of yet. He has started in 13 of Seattle's 14 MLS games this season, but with Yeimar Gomez (hamstring) also sidelined at the moment, Jackson Ragen and Abdoulaye Cissoko might have to fill in as the center backs if the starting pair are out.

Albert Rusnak - Starting against LAFC Rusnak (international duty) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against LAFC.

Impact Rusnak is immediately back in the starting XI after playing with Slovakia over the international break.

Cristian Roldan - Could feature against LAFC Roldan (international duty) is expected to be available for selection in Saturday's clash against LAFC, MLS Espanol reporter Niko Moreno reports.

Impact Roldan was away international duty with the USMNT last week but he has returned to Seattle and should be available for selection in Saturday's game. He saw just 30 minutes of action across four international games this window, so he should be fit enough to start in MLS.

Jordan Morris - Should be available for weekend Morris (not injury related) is expected to be available for selection in Saturday's clash against LAFC, MLS Espanol reporter Niko Moreno reports.

Impact Morris missed a game for Seattle while he was on international duty with the USMNT, but he is back with the squad now and is expected to be fit and available against LAFC on Saturday.

Yeimar Gomez Andrade - Chance to play at weekend Gomez (hamstring) could be available for selection in Saturday's clash against LAFC, Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer said Thursday.

Impact Schmetzer told reporters, "If I was a betting man, I'd say that there is probably a good chance" that Gomez features on Saturday after missing Wednesday's win over the Whitecaps. He likely isn't fit enough to start yet, but he could see some playing time off the bench.

Raul Ruidiaz - Out with hamstring injury Ruidiaz is expected to miss a few games after pulling his hamstring, Seattle manager Brian Schmetzer said Thursday.

Impact Ruidiaz has scored five goals in his last five MLS games, including a brace against the Whitecaps last time out on Tuesday. But he was subbed out just over an hour into that match and it is now revealed that he has picked up a knock on his hamstring that will rule him out at least for Saturday's clash against LAFC, and possibly for a bit longer. Will Bruin is likely to take over as Seattle's starting striker until Ruidiaz is fit enough to return.

Stefan Frei - Easy clean sheet Frei made no saves during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Frei didn't face any shots, didn't make any saves and walked away with a clean sheet. A perfect day at the office for the keeper who now has two clean sheets in 10 starts in MLS. Frei will hope to add to that tally against LAFC on Saturday.

Kelyn Rowe - Two secondary helpers Rowe provided two secondary assists during Tuesday's 4-0 rout of Vancouver.

Impact Rowe provided two secondary assists during Tuesday's rout as he made just his second start at left-back so far in 2022. The wing-back has been in and out of the starting XI and has been called on all over the formation with starts at right-back, left-back and in defensive midfield. Rowe will hope to build off this pair of assists next time out, against LAFC on Saturday.

JUNE 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Leyva - Assists off bench Leyva came off the bench to provide one assist during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Leyva came off the bench for his fourth appearance of the season, playing the final 18 minutes. The midfielder found his first assist for the senior Seattle side and looked comfortably on his first start since May 8. Leyva will hope to build a consistent role in the first team after making 24 appearances and eight starts during the 2021 campaign.

Jimmy Medranda - Finally off the mark Medranda provided one assist on one chance created during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Medranda finally got off the mark, finding his first assist during his third start and seventh appearance. It's been a tough season for the wing-back who was hoping to build on an impressive 2021 where he notched a career-best with four goals and three assists. 2022 has certainly been a return to earth for Medranda who struggled with a hamstring injury to open the season and is just making his way back into the starting XI.

Leo Chu - 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.

Alex Roldan - Opens account Roldan scored once on one shot on goal during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Roldan got off the mark for goal-scoring during Tuesday's win, netting his first of the campaign. It's been a strong season for the wing-back already as he has matched his goal and assist total from the 2021 season in just 12 appearances. Roldan will hope to tread into new territory and surpass his previous best against LAFC on Saturday.

Nicolas Lodeiro - Nets in rout Lodeiro scored once on two shots (one on goal), as well as creating five chances during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Vancouver.

Impact Lodeiro scored once, his third goal of the season in a performance that really deserved multiple assists as well. The midfielder was absolutely brilliant throughout the match and was the dynamo for everything positive for Seattle. Lodeiro has three goals and three assists and will look to build on that against LAFC on Saturday.
