Takes blame for first goal Arreaga generated one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake. He also recorded five clearances and two interceptions.

Impact Arreaga was active defensively, but there's no question he's the reason why RSL opened the scoring in the dying moments of the first half, as one of his passes got intercepted by Anderson Julio, who marched on goal to score the opening strike. Despite the mistake, Arreaga should remain a starter at center-back for New England, but he'll miss the match against St. Louis on Sep. 7 since he was called up by Ecuador for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers in September.

Out 8-10 weeks with injury Arreaga's quad strain has been deemed fairly serious and he's expected to miss 8-10 weeks while recovering from the injury, Sounders manager Brian Schmetzer told reporters Tuesday.

Impact Arreaga sustained this injury while away with Ecuador during the June international window, and while he's no longer a starter for Seattle when fit, his absence will still be a big blow to the club's depth in central defense. Abdoulaye Cissoko is now likely next in line behind Yeimar Gomez and Jackson Ragen (suspension) in the position.

Impact Arreaga didn't actually feature in either of Ecuador's international friendlies over the last week, but he returns to his club injured all the same.

Impact Arreaga kept four clean sheets and scored a goal in 27 MLS appearances (26 starts) this season as Seattle missed out on the playoffs but also won the CCL back in May. The 28-year-old should remain a first-choice center-back alongside Yeimar Gomez in 2023, though Jackson Ragen is knocking on the door as the backup.
