SEATTLE - Seattle Sounders defender Alex Roldan will have to sit out another game after the MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended him for two games for serious foul play in the 74th minute of Seattle’s match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The news comes after Roldan did not play against DC United on Saturday, serving his red card suspension as the Sounders fell 2-1.
Video of the foul play shows Roldan colliding with the back of Whitecaps defender Ali Ahmed.
The additional match suspension will be served during Seattle’s May 5 game against the LA Galaxy.
Roldan will be available for Seattle’s rescheduled match against the Philadelphia Union on April 30, which was postponed from its original date of March 9.
