Paul Rothrock - Plays three minutes off bench Rothrock (hamstring) recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Rothrock made his first appearance since Sept. 13 after spending nearly two months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem. The forward had recently been removed from Seattle's injury report but remained unavailable for the previous encounter against Vancouver, delaying his return to competitive action. His brief involvement against LAFC represents an encouraging step in his recovery, although he has yet to regain significant match fitness following his extended absence.

Cristian Roldan - Creates opener with early pressing Roldan assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Roldan set the tone for Seattle's 2-1 victory over LAFC, winning possession inside the visitors' penalty area before setting up Albert Rusnak for the opening goal after just 51 seconds. The midfielder's aggressive pressing forced an early defensive mistake and allowed the Sounders to establish an advantage they maintained throughout the contest, despite LAFC dominating possession and creating numerous opportunities. Roldan also created another chance before being replaced in the 87th minute, contributing to a crucial victory that secured Seattle's place in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Albert Rusnak - Leads Seattle with two decisives Rusnak scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Rusnak gave Seattle an ideal start by converting Cristian Roldan's pass from close range just 51 seconds into Saturday's 2-1 victory over LAFC, capitalizing on the visitors' defensive mistake. He added an assist in the 32nd minute by setting up Sebastian Gomez, whose deflected strike doubled the Sounders' advantage before Rusnak was replaced in the 66th minute. The midfielder finished the regular season with 13 assists, matching his record from 2017 with Real Salt Lake.

Andrew Thomas - Delivers seven saves in victory Thomas registered seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

Impact Thomas produced an outstanding goalkeeping performance to help Seattle secure a 2-1 victory over LAFC, making several crucial interventions as the visitors generated 24 shots and repeatedly threatened the hosts' advantage. He denied Denis Bouanga and Armindo Sieb during a frantic opening spell before producing another important stop against Son Heung-Min in the 25th minute, then frustrated the South Korean again with an excellent reaction save shortly after halftime. Thomas finished with seven saves and was beaten only by Eddie Segura's late header, helping Seattle clinch a playoff berth on the final day of the regular season.

Jordan Morris - Picks up physical issue Saturday Morris was unable to stay on the field after 24 minutes, succumbing to an apparent muscular pain in Saturday's clash against Los Angeles FC.

Impact Morris appeared to be dealing with a groin or hip discomfort prior to his early substitution for Jesus Ferreira. The veteran attacker has been in and out of the lineup as he sees his workload managed over the past few months, but his contribution remains vital for the squad, and he has tallied two goals and two assists from 25 shots and 17 chances created over his last 14 league matches. The extent of his issue is yet to be determined, leaving his availability in doubt for a potential playoff run.

Alex Roldan - Uncertain due to calf blow Roldan is questionable for the time being as he deals with a calf issue.

Impact Roldan has been very active lately, providing defensive strength in three different positions across the back and middle lines. He recently worked as a center-back, a role that could be covered by Jackson Ragen and one between Kim Kee-Hee and Stuart Hawkins if a backup is needed in the near future, while Kalani Kossa-Rienzi stays put at right-back. The Salvadoran will hope to avoid a serious issue, but this could mean the end of the season for him if the Sounders fail to secure a playoffs spot.

Albert Rusnak - Gets an assist Rusnak assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Rusnak had good volume with six crosses and six corners, ultimately logging an assist in the process. He will have to maintain similar production to come up with an assist or more against LAFC, a team that has only allowed 38 goals in MLS play this season.

Jordan Morris - Scores in loss Morris scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 5-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Morris got a goal to avoid Seattle getting blanked but it was a forgettable day for the Sounders overall. The forward will try to break through a LAFC defense that has only allowed 38 goals through 33 MLS matches next.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Thomas - Gives up five goals in loss Thomas recorded four saves and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Impact Thomas did his part to make this scoreline a bit less problematic with four saves but still conceded five in a poor effort. The goalkeeper will face similar pressure when he faces LAFC, a team that has scored 51 times across 33 MLS games.

Paul Rothrock - Still remains out Rothrock (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Vancouver.

Impact Rothrock was removed from the injury report this week but will not make his return to play, as the forward is sidelined Sunday. That said, he will be looking for his return soon if he does remain off the injury list, last playing Sept. 13, having gone through a decent layoff.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Peter Kingston - Remains available Kingston was ultimately not suspended, with the MLS showing he's one yellow card away from a ban.

Impact Kingston was expected to miss one game through yellow card accumulation but presumably had one booking cancelled at some point. In any case, he's usually among the substitutes who get reduced minutes in most games, so he may be expected to retain that spot behind Cristian Roldan and Snyder Brunell. That makes Kingston hard to rely on for consistent outings even if he's capable of delivering various crosses when given meaningful time on the pitch.

Paul Rothrock - Removed from injury report Rothrock (hamstring) is no longer listed as an injury absence on the MLS Player Status Report.

Impact Rothrock will look to regain match form in time for the initial knockout rounds if the Sounders qualify for the playoffs. After being sidelined for almost two months, the attacker could slowly push for a significant role in place of Jordan Morris or Jesus Ferreira on the flanks. Prior to the injury, Rothrock contributed five goals and one assist, the former of which still stands tied for the second-highest figure on the squad.

Albert Rusnak - Active on set-piece duty Rusnak generated two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Houston Dynamo.

Impact Rusnak would see a great deal of action from set pieces Wednesday, as the midfielder would record eight corners. He would continue some of this into open play as he was trying to create chances for Seattle, notching nine crosses and six chances created. However, it has been six appearances since he last earned a goal contribution.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Morris - Three shots from bench Morris recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Morris was only a bench option Wednesday, appearing for the final 31 minutes of the contest. He would net three shots in his time on the field, although they would amount to nothing. He still only has two goals all season in his 23 appearances (15 starts), a rough drop off from his seven last year, despite seeing more time this campaign.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Cristian Roldan - Four shots Wednesday Roldan registered four shots (one on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Houston Dynamo.

Impact Roldan would see a few opportunities at net Wednesday but would fail to do much with his four shots, as only one was on target. This is now a fifth straight outing without a goal contribution for the midfielder, still with six in 24 appearances (21 starts) this season. However, this is his highest amount of goal contributions in a season since 2022, giving him some decent value along with his high work rate on both sides of the field.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Thomas - Concedes one against Houston Thomas had no saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Houston Dynamo.

Impact Thomas would not have much to do in net but would fail to stop the one shot he faced on net, allowing a goal in the loss. This is a fourth straight match without a clean sheet, remaining with eight in 32 appearances this season. He will now prepare to face Vancouver on Saturday, the second-highest scoring team in the league at the moment.

Peter Kingston - Ruled out of Vancouver encounter Kingston will serve a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation during Sunday's MLS matchup against Vancouver and will be available again for Seattle's regular-season final...

Impact Kingston will be sidelined for Sunday's encounter after reaching the disciplinary threshold for accumulated bookings. The midfielder has primarily operated in a reserve role this season, meaning his absence is unlikely to affect Seattle's preferred starting lineup. However, the suspension will slightly reduce the team's midfield depth and options off the bench against Vancouver. Kingston will be eligible to rejoin the matchday squad for next week's season finale against LAFC, although his involvement will remain dependent on the coaching staff's selection decisions.
