Raúl Ruidíaz was included in the MLS Team of the Week after a brace

Based on goals and good presentations, Raúl Ruidíaz has earned recognition in the Seattle Sounders and, in Major League Soccer (MLS), he is one of the best forwards. The ‘Flea’ shows it every day that he can, like against the Vancouver Whitecaps, against whom he scored a brace in the 4-0 win.

That performance by the Peruvian, which was after the international break due to the international team matches, was enough for him to be included in the Team of the Week that the North American league prepared. In the relationship, Ruidíaz is part of the starting team.

“Designated players new and old, especially those hailing from South America, stepped up as the June international break concluded, and now form a large part of the Team of the Week presented by Audi for MLS Week 15. ”, detailed the league in a post on its official website.

In addition to the 32-year-old attacker, there are also Carlos Coronel (New York Red Bulls), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City), Jackson Ragen (Seattle Sounders), Jon Gallagher (Austin FC), Jefferson Savarino (Real Salt Lake), Obina Nwobodo (Cincinnati), Luquinhas (New York Red Bulls), Sizes Magno (New York City), Gustavo Bou (New England Revolution) and Josef Martínez (Atlanta United).

Forced pause for Ruidíaz

Raúl Ruidíaz’s 2022 season has had many difficulties, especially due to the injuries that affected him. The striker remains off the pitch for a few days after suffering a tear in his right hamstring, according to information provided by Brian Schmetzer, his coach.

The concern for the footballer’s physical condition began in the duel against the Vancouver Whitecaps, which was played last Tuesday. Although the ‘Flea’ showed off with a double, he could not complete the actions and was replaced by Will Bruin, at minute 64.
