The Seattle Sounders are set to face off against the San Jose Earthquakes in a Saturday night match, but the status of star forward Raul Ruidiaz remains uncertain. Ruidiaz, who has been a key contributor to the Sounders’ success this season, suffered an injury in their last game against the Vancouver Whitecaps and has not been able to practice with the team since.
The injury occurred in the first half of the match when Ruidiaz collided with Whitecaps defender Ali Adnan. He was able to finish the match, but was seen limping off the field after the final whistle. The Sounders have not released any information regarding the severity of the injury, and it is unclear if Ruidiaz will be available for Saturday’s match.
Ruidiaz has been a major factor in the Sounders’ success this season, scoring nine goals in 14 appearances. His absence would be a major blow to the team’s chances of winning on Saturday. The Sounders have not yet announced who will replace Ruidiaz in the lineup if he is unable to play, but it is likely that either Will Bruin or Jordan Morris will be called upon to fill his role.
The Sounders will be hoping that Ruidiaz is able to make a quick recovery and be available for Saturday’s match. However, with his status still unknown, the team must prepare for the possibility of playing without their star forward. The Sounders will be hoping for a positive outcome and that Ruidiaz can return to action soon.
