On bench at Houston Chu (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's clash against Houston Dynamo.

Assists in return Chu assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Minnesota United.

Impact Chu was selected to the starting XI Saturday after not playing the previous four Seattle matches due to a hip injury. He returned with aplomb, providing his second assist of the season with a well-placed cross just before departing in the 61st minute.

Set for return Chu (hip) should be available for Saturday's trip to Kansas City, according to Jeremiah Oshan of Sounder at Heart.

Impact Chu has missed over a month and is now nearing a return. The winger should be competing for a starting role when fully fit, but after an extended absence he may not be ready straight away. Chu has already struggled with two injuries this season so Seattle might be cautious with the winger.

Out three to four weeks Chu (hip) will miss around three to four weeks with his issues, according to manager Brian Schmetzer, per Niko Moreno of Sounder at Heart.

Impact Chu will miss a decent portion of time with the problems he recently picked up, as he is now expected to not return until mid-June. He has started in six of his 10 appearances on the team sheet, so his absence will force a change, with Jordan Morris likely starting in every match now that Chu is out. He will now hope for no setbacks, with his next chance of a return likely being against Minnesota on June 15.
