Returning to bench Kim (calf) is back on the bench for Thursday's clash with Atleti.
Impact Kim returned to the bench Thursday after a calf injury that sidelined him for the two MLS matches before the Club World Cup. The defender wasn't deemed fit enough to start but is good to go for some minutes if needed seemingly.

Questionable Thursday Kim is questionable for Thursday's clash with Atleti, according to manager Brian Schmetzer.
Impact Kim is still struggling with a calf injury, and despite training Wednesday he's a doubt for Thursday. The defender has missed two games in a row in MLS action with the same injury, but has been a frequent part of the starting XI in central defense when fit.

Features one half Sunday Kee-Hee (calf) played the first half in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Botafogo in the Club World Cup, confirming he has fully recovered from his injury.
Impact Kee-Hee has been sidelined in the last two games for the Sounders due to a calf injury, but he has fully recovered from it since he played the first half against Botafogo on Sunday. The South Korean struggled quite a lot against the Brazilian frontline and could likely see decreased playing time when Yeimar Gomez is fully back and fit.

Slim chance to participate in CWC Kee-Hee (calf) has a slim chance to participate in the Club World Cup, coach Brian Schmetzer said in a press conference, according to Radio 93.3 KJR.
Impact Kee-Hee is recovering from a calf injury suffered in the clash against San Diego that forced him off in the first half and could recover in time for the Club World Cup. He has a slim chance to feature in the match squad for the first group stage game against Brazilian side Botafogo on June 16, according to his coach. This would be good news for the Sounders knowing that he started seven of his last eight appearances, even though he should see decreased playing time with the return of Jackson Ragen in the backline.

Out with calf injury Kee-Hee (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Minnesota.
Impact Kee-Hee is not going to return from the calf injury he suffered Wednesday, with the defender now unavailable for Sunday's match. He has no return date in place, possibly missing more time. This is tough news for the club as he is a regular starter, with Stuart Hawkins as a possible replacement while out.

Forced off injured Kee-Hee (calf) was forced off injured in the 34th minute of Wednesday's 1-0 victory against San Diego.
Impact Kee-Hee was forced to leave his teammates ten minutes before the break due to an apparent left calf injury and was reportedly in significant pain. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury and whether he has to miss some time. This would be a big blow for the Sounders since he has started in seven of his last eight appearances. That said, with the return from injury of Jackson Ragen, his absence shouldn't impact the overall chemistry in the backline too much.

Headline performance in win Kee-Hee recorded two tackles (one won), five clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 victory against FC Dallas.
Impact Kee-Hee's 90 minute shift Saturday was crucial as Seattle were without each of their top two central defenders in their 1-0 victory over Dallas. The veteran led the clean sheet effort with five clearances while also making three blocks, two tackles (one won) and one interception. Kee-Hee has made eight appearances (six starts) in his return to Seattle after spending the five previous years at Ulsan Hyundai of South Korea's K League.
MAY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Returning to Seattle Kee-Hee has completed a transfer to Seattle out of free agency, according to his new club.
Impact Kee-Hee is returning to Seattle after exiting the club following the 2019 season, signing a one-year deal with an option for the 2026 season. He is a veteran defender with some solid experience, having held starting roles while with Seattle previously. That said, he will look to see a simialr role once rejoinging the club, although he will likely be set for more rotational than starting time.
