This weekend Minnesota United has a tough task on their hands as the club faces the Seattle Sounders. Minnesota has historically struggled in Seattle, with a notable expectation being last season where they swept the Sounders in the regular season. Coming out of this week that might be a bit tougher to do as the Loons face a few injuries heading into the Saturday evening matchup.

Defender Cherrion Valerius joined the club and passed medicals this week and has been in training for a few days this week. Valerius is a much needed addition to the team, especially after loaning out Devin Padelford to New York Red Bulls. He will be traveling with the club this weekend, but it remains to be seen if he will be on the matchday roster in Seattle.
