The reasons why Seattle Sounders could lose Ruidiaz for the rest of the regular season

Seattle Sounders did not want to let Raul Ruidiaz go to play the matches with their Peruvian national team as they argued that Ruidiaz could be infected with Covid and was a very important player for what was left of the MLS. Now from Peru they report that several players, including Ruidiaz, could be Covid positive.

The players who traveled with their selected teams and then returned to the United States to play MLS were going to lose at least 5 games, but now the situation for Seattle Sounders is even more complicated since their player Ruidiaz is supposedly with Covid and must remain isolated 15 days in your country and then return to the USA.

If we add the 15 days that he will have to stay in Peru plus the 14 days that he will have to be isolated in the United States, Ruidiaz will not be able to play for the Seattle Sounders again until mid-November. From the club they are very concerned since Ruidiaz is a fundamental player for the operation of the team.

Seattle Sounders is one of the candidates to win the MLS Cup title but for that it needs 100% of all its players. This loss of Ruidiaz will be very important for the Seattle Sounders goal and they are already seeing how to supplant him for the rest of the matches that the Peruvian player will miss. MLS and the teams were right; it was a problem for players to travel during this pandemic.
