Nicolas Lodeiro - Sidelined next two matches Lodeiro (knee) will miss the next two matches. "It's not looking great," Head Coach Brian Schmetzer said. "We're probably going to shut him down until after the break. We want to b...
Impact Lodeiro has been dealing with knee pain to begin the season, which has limited him to just 24 minutes off the bench. During his absence Joao Paulo has taken the majority of set pieces, while Kelyn Rowe has seen increased playing time in the midfield. This trend should continue until Lodeiro is back in the lineup hopefully against Los Angeles Galaxy on June 19.

Nicolas Lodeiro - Likely out through June break Lodeiro (knee inflammation) is likely to be unavailable through the June break, according to manager Brian Schmetzer via Jackson Felts of KJR Seattle. "It's not looking great. We a...
Impact Lodeiro should only miss a couple of games against Atlanta and Austin, which aren't such difficult matchups that his team would struggle without him. He's only played once so far this season and look to Cristian Roldan as a likely starter at attacking-midfield for the rest of May.

Alex Roldan - Provides influential performance Roldan provided an assist, made five tackles (won three) and six interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Roldan has been immense defensively as of late and added another assist to his tally as he found Brad Smith for his third goal of the season. The combination of Smith and Roldan at wing-back has been lethal for a Seattle side who are undefeated through six matches. Expect to see both back in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Atlanta United.

Stefan Cleveland - Keeps clean sheet against LAFC Cleveland made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Cleveland made his first start in place of the injured Stefan Frei (knee) and did well to keep a clean sheet. Seattle have been the best team in MLS through six matches and a main reason for that is their defense, which has kept four clean sheets and conceded only two goals. Cleveland and Seattle will face Atlanta United on Saturday in their next match.
MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Raul Ruidiaz - Limited during win over LAFC Ruidiaz drew a foul and connected 13 passes during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Ruidiaz failed to take a shot for the first time this season but it didn't matter as Seattle came away with another clean sheet, and all three points. Ruidiaz has been the focal point of Seattle's attack in the first five matches and will look to bounce back during Saturday's match against Atlanta United.
MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Cristian Roldan - Creates three scoring chances Roldan created three scoring chances, put in one cross (one accurate) and made one interception during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Roldan has played every minute of the season as he anchors Seattle's midfield alongside Joao Paulo and Kellyn Rowe. He's enjoyed a great start to the season but isn't the most attack-minded midfielder, likely limiting his overall scoring production moving forward. Expect him back in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Atlanta United.
MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Shaun Smith - Finds net once again Smith scored a goal, took three shots (one on target) and made two interceptions during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Smith headed a looping cross from Alexander Roldan in at the back post in the 73rd minute to double Seattle's lead. This was Smith's third goal in six matches as he has found a lot of space to operate down the left wing while playing at wing-back. Expect to see Smith back in the lineup for Saturday's match against Atlanta after enjoying six days of rest.
MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joao Paulo - Provides assist against LAFC Joao Paulo provided an assist, put in seven crosses (one accurate) and made five tackles (won four) during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Joao Paulo found Xavier Arreaga with an in-swinging corner kick that Arreaga nodded home in the 57th minute. Joao Paulo continues to be a great source of crosses and tackles as he leads Seattle's midfield. As long as Nicolas Lodeiro (knee) is sidelined, Joao Paulo will continue to take set-pieces, which should be the case for Saturday's home match against Atlanta United.
MAY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Xavier Arreaga - Opens MLS account Arreaga scored a goal, took one shot (on goal), and made six clearances during Sunday's 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC.
Impact Arreaga opened his MLS scoring account of a Joao Paulo corner kick, which gave Seattle a 1-0 lead in the 57th minute. He's started four of the first six matches and should continue to be a bedrock in a Seattle backline that's only conceded two goals and kept four clean sheets. They will host Atlanta United on Sunday in their next match.
