MLS Club expects Obafemi’s return

MLS League giant, Seattle Sounders Football Club, expects to welcome back their star striker, Nigeria’s Obafemi Martins, as he looks to bounce back against struggling with FC Dallas on Saturday.
The former Super Eagles striker missed last week’s 1-0 loss at Sporting Kansas City, while recovering from surgery to a broken nose.
Martins trained with a mask on Thursday and Sounders coach Sigi Schmid expects the Nigerian to play, at least, part of Seattle’s home match against Dallas.
“He (Martins) got through the practice today, went through the whole practice, you know, had the mask on,” Schmid said.
“So, again we’ll see how he feels tomorrow, it’s a day-by-day process but I think his likelihood of playing is very good.”
Seattle – the Western Conference leaders – suffered their first defeat in five MLS games last week in the absence of Dempsey and Martins, but Schmid’s men should be confident against Dallas, with the Texans in the midst of a four-game winless run.
