Five Sounders Stars Called Away for International Duty: Here's Who and When
The Seattle Sounders are about to lose some serious firepower. Five players have just been called up for international matches coming down the pipeline, and it's going to create some real scheduling headaches for the club as we push into the thick of the season.
The Full Roster Hit
Cristian Roldan and Danny Musovski were already in the mix, but now the Sounders are sending three more players overseas for upcoming fixtures. Snyder Brunell, Osaze De Rosario, and Georgi Minoungou all got the call, which means the green and blue will be stretched thin for a bit.
Here's the breakdown: Roldan is heading to the USMNT, while Musovski is gearing up for World Cup playoff action with North Macedonia. De Rosario will suit up for Guyana in Concacaf Series matches. Brunell, just 18 years old, is joining the USA U19s under Gonzalo Segares' watch. And Minoungou is representing Burkina Faso after a recent switch from Ivory Coast.
International Schedules Are Packed
Minoungou has become a regular with Burkina Faso since making the change last September, now with nine caps to his name. The squad will play two friendlies in Morocco: Sudan on March 28 and Togo on March 31.
De Rosario is no joke either. The guy has eight goals in 11 career caps, so he's going to be valuable for Guyana when they face Dominica on March 27 and Belize on March 30. Brunell, meanwhile, will head to Spain with the U19 team to take on Wales on March 28 while the squad continues building toward the Concacaf U20 Championship.
What This Means for the Sounders
Having five players away for international duty is never ideal. It's a hit to depth, a hit to rhythm, and it comes at a time when every match matters in MLS. The Sounders are going to have to adjust their lineups and get creative with their tactics while these guys are off representing their countries.
But that's the price of having talented players. When your roster is full of players good enough to play for their national teams, you've got to respect the call. Still, we'll be watching the calendar and counting down until these guys are back in the Emerald City ready to fight.
